Major milestone in Lufthansa Group integration of ITA Airways joining the loyalty program Miles and More

The Lufthansa Group has reached a major milestone in its integration of ITA Airways: starting April 1, 2026, ITA Airways will officially join Miles & More, Europe’s leading loyalty program.

Access to Miles & More:
ITA Airways passengers can now register directly via ita-airways.com or the airline’s app.

Global Partner Network:
Members gain benefits across 35 airline partners and 135+ additional partners (hotels, car rentals, shopping brands).

Earning & Redeeming Miles:
Miles can be collected on Lufthansa Group airlines, Star Alliance carriers, and other partners, then redeemed for flights, travel awards, and lifestyle products.

Frequent Flyer Status:
New members earn “Points” toward status. Existing ITA Airways frequent flyers will be offered a status match.

Expansion Ahead:
More offers and benefits will be rolled out during 2026, strengthening ITA’s integration into Lufthansa’s commercial ecosystem.

Strategic Significance
- 39 million members already use Miles & More, making it Europe’s largest loyalty program.
- ITA Airways’ inclusion deepens its role as a hub airline within Lufthansa Group, aligning with the Group’s broader integration strategy.
- Dieter Vranckx, Lufthansa Group CCO, highlighted that this step creates synergies for ITA’s customers worldwide, offering them access to a truly global loyalty platform.

This move is not just about loyalty perks—it’s a clear signal that Lufthansa is accelerating ITA Airways’ full integration into its network.
