ITA Airways Volare

What the alliance pages establish

Star Alliance describes itself as uniting 26 airlines and giving travellers access to more than 1,150 airports across 190 countries, which it puts at about 90% of the world [1]. Its benefits page repeats the 26-airline figure and cites 1,150+ destinations and access to 1,000 lounges worldwide [2].

The same benefits page states that miles can be earned and redeemed across all member airlines [2], and its news feed dates ITA Airways' entry to 31 March 2026 [2]. The member-airlines page also explains Connecting Partners — select airlines with a regional network that integrate with the wider alliance network and offer smoother transfers and certain privileges on combined itineraries — and names Juneyao Air as one [1].

Neither page sets out how a Volare account interacts with those arrangements: which fares earn, at what rate, or which Volare tier corresponds to which alliance tier [1] [2]. The alliance pages are therefore context only; for the general vocabulary of tiers, earning and redemption, see the glossary of frequent flyer programme terms.

What is not published

The IATA member directory checked lists 380 airline members, with 19 airlines joining in 2026 and 147 entries returned under Europe [3]. The retrieved page displayed the first ten rows of a 38-page alphabetical list, running from ABX Air to Africa World Airlines, and no ITA Airways row was visible in that extract [3]. This profile therefore does not confirm ITA Airways' IATA membership from that directory, and makes no claim either way.

Because none of the retrieved documents is an ITA Airways programme document, this page cannot describe Volare's status benefits, its expiry policy, its upgrade rules or its partner list [1] [2] [3].

Exceptions and limits

• Alliance statements are not programme rules. The statement that miles can be earned and redeemed across member airlines [2] gives no rates, no eligible fare classes, no treatment of taxes and surcharges, and no exclusions; those are set by each programme's own terms, which were not among the documents retrieved for this page.
• Dated material. The alliance pages were checked on 18 October 2026; the item recording ITA Airways' entry is dated 31 March 2026, and the same feed carries an item dated 23 June 2026 on Asiana Airlines exiting the alliance [2], so alliance membership is not fixed over time.
• No account activity. No Volare account was opened, no booking was priced and no points transfer was tested for this page, and no valuation or transfer ratio is stated because the sources give none [1] [2] [3].
• Confirm current terms with ITA Airways. Anyone relying on Volare's tiers, earning, expiry or redemption rules should check them with the airline directly; this page deliberately leaves them unstated rather than guessing, and the site's programme terms index shows which related terms are documented elsewhere.

Terms: the frequent flyer terms glossary covers the vocabulary of tiers, earning and redemption used on this page, and the same terms index is the entry point for individual definitions. This profile is part of the site's programme series; where a programme's own documents were available for checking, the individual page cites them directly.
