In conclusion
There is no minimum number of flights to become elite, which is the case in almost all loyalty programs. Also ,as is evident, there is no real difference between being Premium or Executive.
To get to 30,000 points as a minimum you have to spend 3,000 euros on ITA Airways tickets, but thanks to multipliers this figure can go down significantly. The same of course applies to the intermediate level, definitely the most interesting one.
Perhaps this is the only positive aspect of ITA Airways' new loyalty program.
