Answers :
  1. Because you can only buy tickets online for flights to and from destinations where e-tickets are available and where the flight is operated only by Alitalia. 
    You can buy tickets for other destinations served by Alitalia (also via partnerships with other airlines) through the Call Center or at Alitalia ticket offices.
  2. If you are a MilleMiglia member, you have 24 hours to confirm the booking and buy your ticket. 
    In this case, you can choose either to return to the website and complete the purchase through your booking or use the Self-ticketing procedure or go to any Alitalia ticket office. After 24 hours, unconfirmed bookings will be removed from the system automatically. 
    If you are not a MilleMiglia member, you will have to complete the purchase of your ticket at the same time as you book it, otherwise your booking will expire immediately.
  3. You can buy tickets online for a maximum of 4 passengers (over 2 years old).
  4. Yes. All you have to do is type in your first name, family name and phone number on the appropriate screen. 
    If you are interested in the services for MilleMiglia members and want to avoid typing in your details every time, you can register with the MilleMiglia Club. For every subsequent purchase, you will only have to type in your UserID (MilleMiglia code) and your PIN (which we shall send you by email). 
  5. Yes, you can. Once you have made the purchase, just enter your email address and we will send you the confirmation which is valid as a receipt. This contains all the relevant details of the ticket and the purchase. 
    You can then print the email, bring it with you to the airport together with an ID document, and get your boarding pass.
  6. The website lists all the fares that Alitalia offers. There are two basic types, Economy and Business, and each one includes Standard and Promotional fares.
    Economy and Business fares correspond to two cabin classes that differ according to the services offered. The Business fares are for Prima and Magnifica classes which are available according to each flight. On international flights, Business fares are for Prima class, while on intercontinental flights, Business fares are for Magnifica.
    "Best Buy" is the term used to refer to the lowest fare available at that time, and is not necessarily the cheapest fare in general.
    Each fare is subject to specific rules that you will find in the Fare Regulations within the booking procedure. 
    In addition, it is worth remembering that certain types of customers (members of religious orders, journalists, etc) are entitled to special Alitalia fares which can be obtained only through the Call Center or Alitalia ticket offices.
  7. The "offer period" is the period of time when you can purchase the tickets.
    The "use by" period is the period of time when you can fly using that particular fare.
  8. Our server uses the most up-to-date SSL technology (Secure Socket Layer) that protects personal information and online purchasing. 
    At the bottom of the screen on most browsers you’ll see an icon in the shape of a padlock showing that your browser supports SSL. For more information, use your browser’s online guide.  
    If your browser doesn’t support SSL, we recommend that you download the latest version of Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator.
  9. Yes. If the miles you’ve earned are not sufficient to request the award ticket you want, you can reach the threshold with an additional payment which varies according to the destination area. For more information, see the MilleMiglia section on the website.
  10. If your baggage goes missing, contact the Lost & Found office at your arrival airport or Alitalia Customer Relations in airports around the world. 
    If you do not receive your baggage within five days after your arrival, you should send the following information:
    • detailed list of baggage contents
    • original plane ticket and excess baggage receipt (if applicable)
    • original baggage stub
    • original of the Property Irregularity Report (PIR) completed upon your arrival.      

    Send these documents to the following address:  
    Alitalia Customer Relations 
    Baggage Assistance
    Casella Postale 23 
    Agenzia Postale 1790146 PALERMO   

    At this point, you will be able to follow the progress of the search for your baggage on our website using the WorldTracer, the international baggage tracing system.
