"ITA Airways is the new(ish) national airline of Italy, and the successor of Alitalia. While the airline belongs to the SkyTeam alliance for now (until Lufthansa completes its takeover), unfortunately there have been limited opportunities to actually redeem partner miles for travel on ITA, which has been quite frustrating."
"Air France-KLM Flying Blue points can now be used to redeem on ITA Airways directly through the Air France or KLM website."
Points Wire Note: Whether using Flying Blue miles or Virgin points will be a better option depends on the route and whether if there is a bank transfer bonus to either program.
