What is Youth Flight Pass?
Flight Pass is a package of prepaid vouchers to be used for the subsequent issue of one-way tickets. It allows travel to selected destinations throughout the year, at the rates selected during purchase, subject to seat availability.
Youth Flight Passes are valid for young people between the ages of 12 and 25 years old, inclusive, on the date of boarding of the flight/s and are not applicable for young people between the ages of 12 and 14 traveling unaccompanied.
The Flight Pass has no restrictions on fares and travel classes and allows you to travel until all available seats are sold, subject to the relevant Flight Pass conditions.
Absolutely not! The price of the Flight Pass refers to the fare with taxes and surcharges always included, for all tickets issued.
Tickets issued include transport on flights operated directly by ITA Airways in the selected travel class (Economy) and related services:
Baggage allowance:
- For Economy Class, one piece of hand baggage is permitted, weighing a maximum of 8 kg. None of the Economy Class fares include checked baggage. If you want to purchase checked baggage, please refer to the LIGHT FARE LUGGAGE CONDITIONS found at ita-airways.com
Please refer to the dedicated section of the website for all information regarding baggage dimensions on ITA Airways flights.

Each ticket issued can be used for a single journey: for a one-way trip - for example, Rome-Catania - one ticket must be issued; for a round trip - for example, Rome-Catania-Rome - two tickets must be issued: the first for the Rome-Catania route and the second for the Catania-Rome route.
No, the Flight Pass is non-transferable and can only be used by passengers indicated by the buyer at the time of purchase.
No, you cannot book flights that are not operated directly by ITA Airways.
Yes, of course! You can share with as many people as the number of flights you choose (1 to 24), except for packages of 6 and 8 flights for which you can share with up to 2 people. For example, if you purchase a FlightPass consisting of six trips, you can enter up to two passenger names. For 12 flights the number of passengers you can enter is up to 12.
- You must enter the name of the first passenger when purchasing the Flight Pass and add the other names within the booking period provided for the type of Flight Pass purchased. Once you add a name, you can change it to another name for a fee.
- Each passenger may travel alone, or with one or more passengers per flight. Any passenger travelling alone cannot be an unaccompanied minor under the age of 15;
- Minors under the age of 15 can be added, but they cannot travel alone, as the “Unaccompanied Minors” procedure is not permitted.

Use of the Flight Pass: issuing tickets
To issue a ticket, click here and select “Book flights”; once you have been redirected to the dedicated platform, log in using your “Username” and “Password”, select “Book flights”, select the Flight Pass purchased, the flight, the date, the departure time and the passenger receiving the ticket, then confirm and issue the ticket. You can search for and book ITA Airways flights as per the parameters selected in the Flight Pass.
Once the ticket has been issued - and before the flight departure - it is possible to change the date and time of the booked flight, subject to payment of a booking change supplement of €65 (ticket exchange only possible on the web platform and subject to availability and Flight Pass rules). Cancelation is not possible and the ticket is not refundable (refund is provided only in case of death of the passenger, as laid down by the ITA Airways General Conditions of Transport). No-show is not allowed; in case of a no-show, the ticket will be considered invalid and cannot be used.
No, it is not possible to issue tickets after the “travel period” has expired.
Unused tickets will not be refunded.
In the case mentioned, you can issue tickets until May 31st. Tickets issued must be used no later than June 30th.
For example, if you wish to take a one-way trip from Catania to Trieste (which are not connected by a direct flight), we will need to issue two tickets: one for the Catania–Rome leg and another for the Rome–Trieste route. If you want to take a round trip from Catania to Trieste, we will need to issue four tickets: the first for the Catania–Rome route, the second for the Rome–Trieste route, the third for the Trieste–Rome route, and the fourth for the Rome–Catania route.
