When Alitalia left us a few years ago, ITA continued its business practically unchanged. With the significant limitation that they were not allowed to take over their frequent flyer program MilleMiglia and thus had to introduce VOLARE, which still hasn’t really gotten off the ground.

MilleMiglia, however, survived as an independent program with some partners from the travel industry – and some of Alitalia’s former SkyTeam partners, notably Air France KLM.

However, this curiosity will soon be a thing of the past: On December 31, the program will cease operations, and all points not used by then will be lost without compensation. Until November 30, points can still be collected in the program with the current partners.
