ITA Airways is offering a status match program from dozens of airlines. Surprisingly, they’re even offering a match from fellow SkyTeam members like Delta, which is typically not allowed by members of the same alliance.
ITA was born last year after former Italian flag carrier Alitalia imploded. Star Alliance carrier Lufthansa is battling with Delta/Air France to purchase a controlling stake in ITA, which may mean that we’ll see a change of alliance.
You can enroll in ITA Volare here and you can apply for a status match here.
The form is riddled with typos, but is legitimate, even if American 1K status is not a thing.
The status match offer expires 4/15/22 and status will be valid for 1 year. Status will be granted or denied no later than 5/15/22.
You’ll have to upload a copy of your ID and a copy of your digital or physical elite status card.
SkyTeam Elite members receive priority standby, checkin, boarding, seats, and extra baggage. SkyTeam Elite Plus members and a guest also receive lounge access on all international travel as well as priority baggage handling and priority security.

JetBlue Mosaic not on the list :o(
If I am already delta diamond what would the advantage of getting ITA status?
If you don’t requalify for diamond in 2023 you’ll gain keeping Star Alliance Gold
So if for example I have AA gold what status what I get with them?
I’m getting an error “Invalid file” no matter what type of file I’m uploading.
I had that problem too. The max file size is like 3 MB, not 5 like they say. Try shrinking the file size.
Anyhow, I applied. This could be very helpful.

I’m trying to get Elite stays with Delta.
I did a status match to Delta about a year ago, and did not meet the challenge. Delta’s official policy is that one can only match after 3 years.
I’m considering to make a new Delta account, then submitting a new status match request. Is that a big risk?
The status match campaign can only be joined by Members belonging to premium tiers (tiers not accessible simply by signing up to the program, e.g. Ulisse, Freccia Alata, Freccia Alata Plus, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Frequent Traveller, Senator, HON Circle). Those who already participated to the previous version of the Status Match campaign and who were granted access to one of our exclusive clubs based on the requirements, will not be able to participate to this new Status Match campaign.
So if I’m not female I’m Bad?
Haha. I went to the site just to check this out. It’s correct in the other languages available on the page (Italian, French, and Spanish), so my assumption is that instead of “Male” they put “Mal,” which they then translated to “Bad.” Still funny.
Air Canada aeroplan not on the list?
Can we do it manually?
Any idea what they match krisflyer gold to?
ARE THEY A DECENT AIRLINE??
Worth bothering if I only have AA Gold or El Al Silver to match? Assuming they won’t grant the higher status for those? Although I guess anything is possible… A shame Virgin Atlantic Gold isn’t matchable.
Can’t hurt. Especially if they switch over to *A next year.
where can find my united loyalty card online?
In the United app.

I’m flying delta next week. i just got status matched united silver. Should i put in my delta number or ITA number to get the benefits of elite? if i put ita is it possible to still earn delta status and points?
I got matched to club premium. Where can I find the benefits that I get for traveling on partner airlines?
I got matched, but no idea how to use it on a partner airline. Delta still has Alitalia airlines, and no way to select ITA air.
Seems like SkyTeam airlines are not on the list now… Was waiting for the Amex Delta Status Match to go through.
Is delta no longer on the list?
