United Airlines and Italian carrier ITA Airways have begun selling tickets for a codesharing agreement that takes effect on Sept. 15, the carriers announced.
With the codesharing agreement, United passengers can purchase a single ticket and earn miles on travel beyond United’s service to Rome and Milan to ITA’s domestic connections as well as elsewhere in Europe. For ITA, the agreement opens up bookings to several U.S. airports including Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver, Honolulu, Houston and Newark, according to the carriers.
ITA said the agreement aligns with its plan to strengthen its offering in North America. “This initiative is part of a broader growth plan in international markets, which is expected to progress with ITA Airways joining Star Alliance in 2026, following continued integration into the Lufthansa Group,” ITA CEO and general manager Joerg Eberhart said in a statement.
