ITA Airways is deepening its integration with the Lufthansa Group, bringing exciting new perks for frequent travelers. Passengers can now earn both Miles & More Points and status miles when flying with ITA Airways. This upgrade helps travelers qualify for elite status faster while maintaining consistency across the Lufthansa Group’s loyalty programs. Business Class travelers also gain access to HON Circle Points, adding even more value to their journeys.
Since joining the Lufthansa Group on January 17, 2025, ITA Airways has expanded its benefits for global passengers. Previously, Miles & More members could earn and redeem miles on ITA Airways flights. Now, ITA Airways’ loyalty program, Volare, allows members to earn and use Volare Points when flying with Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian Airlines, and Brussels Airlines. This change enhances the airline’s position within the Lufthansa ecosystem, making loyalty rewards even more accessible.
To mark this milestone, Lufthansa Group is offering a limited-time promotion for Miles & More members. Passengers who fly with ITA Airways between March 1 and April 15, 2025, will earn a special mileage bonus. Those taking two continental flights receive 2,000 extra miles, while those on two intercontinental flights get 4,000 miles. However, travelers must activate the offer by March 31, 2025, to take advantage of these perks.
ITA Airways is also aligning its routes with Lufthansa Group’s network starting March 30. Over 100 flights will be integrated into the system, improving connectivity and booking flexibility. Additionally, ITA Airways travelers will gain access to 130 Lufthansa Group lounges worldwide. Lufthansa Group passengers will also be welcomed into ITA Airways lounges, further enhancing the overall experience.
Looking ahead, ITA Airways plans to join the Star Alliance in early 2026. This move will further expand global connectivity, solidifying its role as a key player in international aviation.
