ITA Airways Expands Benefits with Lufthansa, Unveils Mutual Services

ITA Airways has expanded services offered to passengers towards harmonization with Lufthansa Group Airlines, and launched mutual Premium Services, starting July 1st, 2025.

Since the launch in March of the first ITA Airways services aligned with Lufthansa Group airlines’ offerings, customers can enjoy a smoother and more comfortable travel experience, benefiting from advantages such as reduced transit times, seamless access to codeshare flights with Lufthansa Group airlines, and access to 130 lounges worldwide.

Starting July 1st, new Premium Services will enhance passengers’ travel experience by offering Priority Check-in, a dedicated Transit Desk, Priority Boarding, Fast Track access, additional baggage allowance, and complimentary seat selection onboard, available with any airline within the Lufthansa Group.

These services will be available to Club Executive and Club Premium members of the Volare loyalty program when flying with Lufthansa Group airlines. Simultaneously, Miles & More Hon Circle and Senator members will also enjoy these services on ITA Airways-operated flights.

Furthermore, Volare Club Plus members traveling on flights operated by Lufthansa Group airlines will have access to the following services: Priority Reservation Wait List, free additional baggage, Priority Check-in, and Priority Airport Waiting List. These same benefits will also be available to passengers with Frequent Traveler (FTL) status in the Miles & More loyalty program.

“The new Premium Services aligned with Lufthansa Group airlines’ offering represents a consistent step forward towards a smoother and more comfortable travel experience for our clients, affirmed Joerg Eberhart, ITA Airways’ CEO and General Manager.

These new features are the result of our close collaboration with the Group and further strengthen the collaboration we have been developing since the early stages of our partnership. Our goal is to continue raising the standards of service, making the most of the synergies with our partner to deliver an increasingly high level of connectivity, comfort, and quality.”

The launch of Premium Services represents another important step for ITA Airways in the integration process with Lufthansa Group’s customer experience, further expanding the travel benefits offered to passengers. 

This initiative adds to the actions already undertaken to promote the harmonization of ITA Airways within the Lufthansa Group, including reciprocal points accumulation between the Volare and Miles & More loyalty programs, the use of the same terminals at the Group’s main hubs, and the introduction of codeshare flights with Group airlines—recently enriched with new intercontinental routes to Africa, Asia, and South America.
