Here's the Christmas gift to Volare members, status renewed for (almost) everyone

One might say no two without three, as for the third consecutive year the management of ITA Airways' Volare loyalty program has decided to renew statuses to members ex officio. In my case I can only say thank you since I was psychologically ready to switch from Executive to Premium, but instead I got the happy news today.

Status renewed to those who flew during 2024

If in 2022 and 2023 it had been a total renewal, so even those whose cards were the result of status matches had had their levels extended, instead this year not everyone will be pardoned. A renewal that comes at a strategic time For the company and its frequent flyers. 2025 will be the year of the transition to Star Alliance and the merger with Lufthansa, and it is still unclear what will happen to Volare. The program has been renewed until the end of 2025 and at this point it is plausible to predict that by the end of next year the fate will be decided.

Whose status has been renewed

Level renewed to those who during 2024 flew aboard ITA's blue planes, so no parachute for those who have only "exploited" Skyteam status aboard other carriers or who have never set foot on a plane during 2024. ITA has not forgotten, however, those who have flown and accumulated points instead, including Using Credit Cards co-branded with American Express., these subscribers will receive a surprise in their account (which I cannot spoil at this time).

In conclusion

I would not have done so, but I understand that at this stage of transition it was an almost forced choice. So we thank ITA for the kind (and unexpected) Christmas gift And let us prepare to live a 2025 at Executive or Miles&More.
