How do you add the ITA Executive number to the Aerolineas booking as I cannot find how to do it.

Thanks in advance

Status recognition on skyteam partners is still spotty. I'd try giving Areolineas a call and see what they tell you, there is no way to have the status recognized automatically by inserting the code on the website unfortunately.

With AirEuropa on April 9 at Madrid Airport, did not have the ITA option. Inserting zeros under old Alitalia option, system took the number but didn't recognize status.
Agent could override for boarding pass to show Sky Priority, but that's was all. Could not get Fast Pass access to security.

Entrance at the AF/KL lounge at Munich was no problem with a guest

Korean Air, they dont have their systems updated so they couldnt add my friends Volare number into the ticket but they did manually wrote the "SKYTEAM ELITE PLUS" on his boarding pass and every staff was behaving to my friend as written. They were extra nice to us, check-in, boarding and also after takeoff they greeted us on board and thanked us for flying with them... Mind this was domestic flights from Busan to Gimpo and we were sitting in Y in the middle of the plane haha... people were looking but it was so special for 30$ ticket.

Anyone have experience flying Delta (international Y) and gaining Delta SkyClub access with their Volare card? I can't add my ITA number to the Delta ticket while checking in, so only option will be to try at the lounge door with the digital card.

No entry at AF Lounge/Business Check In T2 CDG.
Friendly staff, but definitely NO access

Did you manage to get additional baggage or access to the lounge? Actually am more concerned about baggage

For what it's worth, on my firs adventure into the Volare website I saw this:

SkyPriority services are recognized only on flights operated by ITA Airways; Club Plus Members will also soon be able to enjoy the benefits reserved for Elite Plus Members on SkyTeam alliance flights

Not encouraging!

Will report back on airport experiences.
Can confirmed that Elite Plus worked on Garuda, although manually. Check in staff took a photo of my digital card, and handwrote the status on the boarding pass each time.
Flights did not credit, however.

What's the button for where you appreciate someone passing along some important information ... but you sure don't like it! ?

I put Alitatlia and the ITA number with extra 0 at the front on an Air France booking, will see what happens. Worst case at checkin I can ask to remove the number and put my Flying Blue number I guess.

I'm afraid it's there because miles can be still credited to the not-defunct Millemiglia program.
ITA has no way to credit miles from SkyTeam partners yet, unfortunately.

So no value. Whether I put my ITA to get the status recognized (but I am flying J anyway so will get priority + lounge) or FB to get some miles (I am nobody on FB) does not mean a lot.

The best bet to have status recognized is to go to a check-in desk and ask nicely, if you're not flying ITA. YMMV on SkyTeam airlines
