LOT Polish Airlines entered into codeshare partnership with ITA Airways

LOT Polish Airlines commenced codeshare-based cooperation with the Italian carrier ITA Airways. The national polish carrier’s current route network includes flights to Milan, Venice and Rome. Thanks to the new partnership, LOT Polish Airlines passengers will have access to ten new codeshare connections in Italy: Bari, Bologna, Brindisi, Florence, Genoa, Catania, Lamezia Terme, Naples, Palermo and Turin. ITA Airways travelers will now be able to enjoy convenient flights from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Warsaw and other destinations operated by LOT Polish Airlines. One of the advantages of this shared offer is a uniform luggage policy and fare conditions for the entire flight. Thanks to the carriers’ partnership, LOT passengers can also benefit from guaranteed transfers and collect Miles & More miles at the same time.

“Reaching a codeshare agreement with ITA Airways is part of the implementation of our strategy, which includes expanding our offer and improving the quality of our services. Through this cooperation, LOT’s passengers gain access to a wide network of domestic connections in Italy, which will significantly facilitate travel in this beautiful country. We encourage you to discover Italy, now more accessible to travelers from Poland than ever before. We will also be pleased to welcome our partner’s travelers on board LOT, providing them with a convenient transfer offer to a wide range of destinations in our route network.” says Robert Ludera, LOT’s Registered Representative, Director of the LOT Polish Airlines Network Bureau

Joerg Eberhart, CEO and General Manager of ITA Airways said, “We are pleased to sign this codeshare agreement with LOT Polish Airlines. This partnership is an additional significant step in ITA Airways’ growth strategy, enhancing connectivity for our passengers. It creates a privileged and convenient travel route between Italy and Poland, further strengthening the economic and commercial ties between our two countries. Additionally, it enhances LOT passengers’ travel experience, offering them the opportunity to enjoy the excellence of Made in Italy, which ITA Airways proudly represents as an ambassador worldwide.”

Recently, ITA Airways has announced that it would join the Star Alliance with effect from 2026. This means that LOT passengers, travelling on shared LOT and ITA Airways flights, will soon be able to take advantage of the range of amenities offered by Star Alliance standards. It is also worth noting that as of 3 February 2025, Miles & More members can earn miles for ITA Airways flights and use miles for flying these airlines.

“We have received the news of ITA Airways’ planned joining of the Star Alliance with great interest – we see this as an opportunity to further strengthen both our bilateral cooperation and our collaboration within our global alliance.” said Robert Ludera.
