About Flight Pass

This refers to the total number of passengers who can book and fly using Flight Pass. The fewer passenger names you enter when purchasing your Flight Pass, the more you save.

There is no need to pay any additional fee for the flight fare. However, requests for additional services, such as advance seat selection, additional baggage, etc., may be charged and must be paid for in accordance with the airline’s normal policy.

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. The Flight Pass for purchasing direct flights does not allow for the purchase of indirect flights with connections through Rome or Milan.

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 include transportation on flights operated directly by ITA Airways in the selected travel class (Economy or Business) and the related services included:

    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 wish to purchase checked baggage, please refer to the LIGHT FARE BAGGAGE POLICY found at ita-airways.com
    • For domestic Business Class, one piece of hand baggage weighing up to 8 kg and two checked bags up to a maximum of 23 kg each is allowed.

    Each ticket issued is valid for a single route of the journey: for a one-way trip, such as Rome to Catania, one ticket must be issued; for a round-trip journey, such as Rome to Catania and back, two tickets must be issued—the first for the Rome to Catania route and the second for the Catania to Rome route.

    No, the Flight Pass is non-transferable and can only be used by passengers indicated by the buyer.

    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 Flight Pass 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.

    • Minors under the age of 15 can be added, but they cannot travel alone, as the “Unaccompanied Minors” procedure is not permitted.

    The Flight Pass for purchasing direct flights does not allow for the purchase of indirect flights with connections through Rome or Milan.

If you want to take a round trip from Catania to Trieste, you 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.
