ITA Airways has partnered with digital travel leader Booking.com, according to a statement from the carrier on August 23, 2023. Customers of the Italian flag carrier can now book flights and accommodations directly on the airline’s website, with a choice of over 28 million accommodations worldwide.
Booking.com is a popular online travel agency and platform allowing users to book hotels, apartments, villas, hostels, and accommodations. Booking.com was founded in 1996. Originally named “Bookings.nl,” it was established in Amsterdam, Netherlands. In 2005, Booking.com was acquired by the Priceline Group (now known as Booking Holdings), which further fueled its growth and international reach.
The over one million members of the Volare loyalty program are set to benefit from a new partnership between ITA Airways and Booking.com. As part of the deal, customers will earn four Volare points for every euro they spend on bookings made through the program. The move aligns with ITA Airways’ customer-centric approach, a key focus since the airline launched in October 2021. The aim is to enhance the overall travel experience for customers, and this partnership is just one example of the airline’s commitment to achieving this goal.
