United Airlines and Ita Airways collaborate to initiate a mutual frequent flyer program
Ita Airways, a Lufthansa subsidiary, has announced an expansion of its partnership with United Airlines for their frequent flyer program, Volare. This collaboration, which does not have publicly specified exact start and end dates, is part of a strategic expansion without a stated end date.
Starting from September 8, passengers can now earn Volare points on United flights. The expanded partnership applies to all flights operated by the unspecified airline, with ticket codes yet to be specified. The cooperation also includes earning points on unspecified flights operated by the unspecified airline, whose operations are managed by an unidentified entity.
Under the expanded partnership, passengers in economy class can earn Volare points that vary between 25% and 100% depending on the fare. Business class passengers, however, can earn up to 200% of the miles flown as Volare points.
To earn points, passengers must provide their Volare number at the time of booking or check-in. This requirement remains consistent with the original partnership between the two airlines.
This expanded partnership is a significant step for Ita Airways as it aims to broaden its reach and enhance travel options and connections between Italy and the USA. The codeshare agreement, which started on September 15 (year not specified), is expected to provide more convenience and flexibility for passengers traveling between the two regions.
The partnership between Ita Airways and United Airlines for their frequent flyer program, Volare, is expected to bring numerous benefits to both airlines' loyal customers. Passengers can look forward to earning points on their United flights and enjoying the perks that come with these points, such as upgrades, priority boarding, and more.
As always, it's essential to check the specific terms and conditions of the partnership to fully understand how Volare points can be earned and redeemed. For more information, passengers are advised to visit the official websites of Ita Airways and United Airlines.
