With ITA status at AMS, do i need to be flying KLM or other Skyteam to access the Crown Lounge 52? Would be flying British Airways.
EDIT: Looked it up just now, looks like I have to be flying KLM or Skyteam.

ITA is clearly listed among its peers on the website: but little good that seems to be doing Volare members

I can't get my ITA SkyTeam Elite + number recognised on KLM. I will go to the desk tomorrow, but remember this being a total pain in the ... with Alitalia too. There was a trick to enter it with a few zeros in front of the number. Does anybody know how KLM can add it so it reflects Elite+?
Since everything is automated at Schiphol, if your BP says zero status that's what you get - so frustrating!

Has anyone managed to call a AFKL agency that is able to add the ITA ff number manually to a reservation. I just called reservations (because my flight was cancelled) and was told to call the Flying Blue number. Of course, the Flying Blue agent was not able to help me with this.

AirFrance / KLM with ITA
Just called AF about ITA Airways status. Their online system doesn't recognise the programme and even when you call you can't add baggage or seats. HOWEVER, at the airport you will get equal benefits to that of an STE+ member. You might need to pay for your seats in advance but not baggage etc. I assume this is the same for KLM.

I actually talked with the 3rd party KLM/AF check-in staff at HEL when flying AY last Saturday and they were optimistic about recognizing my STE+ status by ITA when I'll check in with them at my future KL flight.
