Lufthansa Group has reached an important milestone in the harmonisation of status benefits: Frequent Travelers are now able to use the ITA Airways lounges and benefit from an even more comprehensive lounge network. This significantly expands the lounge network, especially for travel to and via Italy. Lufthansa Group customers will enjoy an even more seamless premium experience when traveling with the Group’s various airlines. Senators and HON Circle Members had already gained access to the ITA Airways lounges in March.
“The harmonisation of our Frequent Traveler status benefits across the Lufthansa Group marks a significant step for our most loyal guests,” said Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer, Lufthansa Group. “It underlines our commitment to a first-class and seamless travel experience. By expanding lounge access and introducing additional privileges for Lufthansa Group status customers, we are offering more convenience and flexibility.”
Marcus Frank, Vice President Loyalty, Lufthansa Group, added: “The new benefits for our guests are part of our ongoing efforts to further improve our loyalty program and offer added value to our status customers.”
New benefits include:
- Extended lounge access: all status customers can relax in the lounges of Lufthansa Group airlines and in the ITA Airways lounges in Milan, Rome and Catania. This significantly expands their available lounge network, especially at Italian airports.
- Further status benefits: additional privileges for Frequent Travelers, Senators and HON Circle Members are offered on ITA Airways flights to ensure an even more seamless travel experience.
- All Lufthansa Group status passengers flying with ITA Airways benefit from priority check-in, additional baggage allowance and waiting list priority.
- Senators and HON Circle Members also enjoy priority boarding, fast lane access, accelerated baggage handling and free seat reservations.
