Loyalty Lobby: "The ITA Airways Volare Program appears to have quietly extended their member’s tier status through January 2025, evidenced by new status expiration dates on the online cards visible in the account."
"As I have previously reported, many SkyTeam airlines don’t recognize ITA as a status / partner airline and therefore it’s impossible to benefit from the Elite Plus status that is (un)officially conferred with the Volare Premium/Executive level."
Points Wire Note:
It's been an interesting road for ITA Airways since it was formed out of the former carrier Alitalia. Lufthansa is trying to take a minority stake in the company, but the European Union just announced that it's looking into the deal. Whether ITA Airways gets fully integrated into SkyTeam or the Lufthansa deal moves it to Star Alliance is yet to be determined.
