I believe though that they didnt managed to fully add the card number to my BP since it didnt show SkyPriority. However, no issues also using the priority boarding boarding either. So I believe that with MU, at the moment, YMMV. However, it may be worth trying your luck at the airport.

Adding ITA number to Delta Reservation
I didn't see any examples of success with this, so I thought I'd post my experience. I was able to add my ITA number to a domestic basic economy DL reservation (for free bags) by using the ME website and my ticket number (didn't recognize PNR). I also had to go through adding some extraneous details (i.e., passport info) not really necessary for a domestic itinerary, but it did stick and my baggage allowance now shows on DL website as two free bags for everyone on the reservation. Hopefully this sticks at the airport, I don't see why not.

Data point on air europa:
Selected ITA and added my number as normal through the booking process and was able to add a bag for free and select a seat for free (at the back half of the plane).
It did also say free for the priority boarding add-on but tried to charge when I selected it, although I assume it will be recognised on the BP anyway.
Was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was after the pain of getting the free bag recognised with AF 6 months ago...

Thanky for sharing your experience.I haven't made a complete booking yet, but I made some tests/steps of booking process (Air Europa). I selected ITA Airways under "Frequent Flyer Programme" and entered my membership number 000*****, and it looks like that the system recognize my ITA Volare, because it is free to add luggage and select seat at back part of plane (as you also mentioned). Afterwards I made the same steps, but with no frequent programme added, and then it cost extra with seats and luggage.
Would be interesting to know if it is possible to read something on e-ticket about Skyteam benefits, and what is says later on boarding pass about priority boarding and fast track.

What a coincidence! I was just wondering about if there are any new posts about adding ITA Volare on Air Europa booking. Thanky for sharing your experience.

Last January I flew from CDG with AF. My Volare card was recognized as SkyTeam Elite Plus by check-in and lounge staff.
I have now noticed that youcan should be able to add the Volare card number to an AF/KL reservation, but the online system insists on a 9-digit card numbermy card only has 8 digits.
I asked the AF WhatsApp team to add the Volare number, but they said they cant add it. They also said I wont benefit from the SkyTeam Elite Plus because my flight isnt marketed or operated by AZ.
Have the rules changed since January? Will a Volare Premium passenger have access to SkyPriority, lounge, etc? I flew KL yesterday and had no problem in AMS, but not sure about AF now. Thanks.

Just booked an AF award using Virgin points. VS recognizes my ITA number and its status. AF site doesn't see it at all. Chatted with AF agent and he/she said that their system could not recognize the volare number.

Personally I've tried
CI China Airlines - Works online, showed up on boarding pass 2023 Mar
VN Vietnam Airlines - Works online, showed up on boarding pass 2023 Jul
DL Delta - Nope, no option online, manual counter rejected at JFK. Emailed in to Delta for baggage refund success. 2023 Dec

So is there a work-around for AF to recognize ITA number? Maybe add a zero in the beginning?

I'm flying a KE itinerary.
The check in agent in AMS asked me "what's the two letters for ITA?", so not a great start, but she used AZ and status was recognised. So much so that the pursuers on both flights came to my seat in Y to wish me a good flight!
No problem with priority boarding and such.

Flying VN domestically and internationally soon - have inputted my STE+ ITA FF # in booking. Current booking/PNR has three other passengers on there. Does anyone know whether the three other passengers will also get SP benefits as they're linked to my booking and I have STE+? Any experiences?
I know some other airlines will let other pax on same PNR get elite benefits printed on boarding pass, given that I am an elite member with that airline.
