ITA Airways will become part of the Lufthansa Group’s Miles & More frequent flyer program on April 1. This new collaboration, said an announcement, is “a major milestone” in the integration of ITA Airways into the Lufthansa Group. The purchase of the Italian carrier was completed early in 2025.

The loyalty program, according to an announcement, includes a global network of 35 airlines and over 135 additional partners, including hotels, car rental companies and numerous products and brands. Miles & More members can also earn miles on all Lufthansa Group and Star Alliance airlines, and other partner carriers.

For ITA Airways customers who already have frequent flyer status, an “attractive offer” to switch to the Miles & More program via a status match will also be published. The partnership between ITA Airways and Miles & More will be further expanded with additional offers over the course of the year.

Dieter Vranckx, chief commercial officer, Lufthansa Group, said, “Welcoming ITA Airways to the Miles & More program is a unique milestone, not only from a program offer perspective but also from the airline’s customer’s perspective.” With this step, he said, “we continue to be on track integrating ITA Airways as a hub airline.”
