"This app just won’t work for me"
I don’t know what’s going on with this app. I’ll open it thinking maybe it’ll work this time, and then nope, same problem again. Sometimes it freezes, sometimes it won’t load at all, and then I just give up and do something else. I wanted to like it, but it’s just been really frustrating.

"Stressful cancellation, but handled better than expected"
My flight from Rome to London got cancelled the night before, which was really not what I needed and had me stressing about hotels, work, getting to the airport, and whether I’d be stuck waiting around forever, but they rebooked me onto a flight the next morning, the app updated quickly, and even though the airport staff seemed a bit rushed they still answered my questions and helped me sort out my bag. I did lose half a day, so I can’t say it was perfect, but compared with other cancellations I’ve dealt with, this one was handled okay. The food refund took a while to come through, but it did arrive in the end. 4 stars from me.

"Okay flight, but service could’ve been better"
To be fair, the flight itself was fine and got me where I needed to go without any major issues. But the in-flight service was disappointing. The crew took quite a while to respond and at times seemed a bit annoyed when asked for things. The food was cold by the time it was served, and drinks came much later than expected. I expected a better experience from ITA.

"Messy Boarding Experience with ITA Airways"
I flew with ITA Airways recently, and while the flight itself was perfectly fine, the boarding process was really frustrating. The gate area got crowded quickly, and it wasn’t clear at all which group was supposed to board first. The staff seemed to be trying, but people were forming lines all over the place, which made everything feel slow and unorganized. It wasn’t a total disaster, but it definitely added unnecessary stress to the trip. I’d really expect clearer announcements or signage for something like this, some kind of compensation or goodwill gesture would feel fair given the poor boarding experience

"The crew seemed to know what…"
The crew seemed to know what they were doing and everything was handled smoothly overall. I wouldn’t say anyone was rude or anything like that, they just came across a bit distant and not especially friendly during the flight. It was fine, just not the warmest experience.

"Refund was handled fairly"
I had to cancel my flight and, to be honest, I was expecting the refund process to be a hassle. I filled out the form on ita-airways.com and got email updates along the way, which felt fair since at least I knew what was happening. The money was back in my account after a few days and I didn’t have to chase anyone. For an airline refund, it was surprisingly smooth.

"No baggage issues, just a slow check-in"
Flew with ITA and the baggage situation was fine. My suitcase showed up on time and wasn’t damaged, so that’s pretty much what I was hoping for. The bag check-in line did move a little slowly, which was annoying, but nothing major. Overall, it was okay

"Changing My Flight Was More Complicated Than I Expected"
I tried to change my flight, it felt way more confusing than it should have been. The fees and rules weren’t very clear to me, and my impression was that there wasn’t much flexibility at all. Maybe it depends on the ticket type, but from my experience, it was frustrating.

"Got There Eventually, But Felt Brushed Off"
I did get my compensation in the end, but I had to follow up a few times before anything really moved. It wasn’t a terrible experience, just frustratingly slow, and at times it felt like I was being a bit dismissed rather than properly helped

"The seats on my ITA Airways flight…"
The seats on my ITA Airways flight were awful. I’m not even tall, and my knees were still jammed into the seat in front of me the whole time. The cushion felt flat and hard, and the backrest didn’t really give any support at all. After about two hours, my lower back was hurting so much. Yeah, I’d avoid flying with them again if I can.

"Easy Online Check-In"
Online check-in worked well overall. It was a little slow, but it got the job done and made things easier.

"My flight ended up being "really…"
My flight ended up being "really late," which was frustrating. I get that delays happen, but it definitely made the whole travel experience more stressful than expected.

"Got It Fixed, But It Was a Bit of a Hassle"
I called to change my flight, and the agent was nice enough—actually, they were helpful once we got going. The wait was longer than I expected, though, and I had to explain the issue twice, which got a little frustrating. It did get sorted out in the end, so I’m not too upset, but the whole process could’ve been smoother

"Frustrating booking experience"
I tried booking a flight on ita-airways.com and it was frustrating. The pages were loading really slowly, some buttons just wouldn’t work, and I had to keep entering the same details over and over. I also couldn’t figure out where to manage extras, which made the whole thing even more confusing. After about 30 minutes I gave up. When I reached out for help, it kind of felt like support was blaming me or my device instead of acknowledging the website issues, which just made the experience worse...

"Quick and helpful support"
I had an issue with my booking, and they got back to me really quickly. They sorted everything out without any hassle, and I’m really happy with how smooth the whole experience was

"Lost my bag and got almost no help"
My luggage never showed up after my ITA Airways flight. Frustrating. I reported it right away, filled out the forms, and tried to stay patient at first.

Since then, I’ve called several times and sent emails, but the response is always basically the same: wait, check later, or someone will get back to you. Nothing. No proper update, no clear answer, and no sense that anyone is actually trying to find my bag.

It’s been days now and I still have no idea if I’m getting my things back. Stressful. This whole experience has been really disappointing, i’d think twice before flying with them again

"Decent for Volare, but the info could be clearer"
I mostly use ita-airways.com for the Volare program, and overall it does what I need. My points do show up, but every now and then they take longer than I expected, which can be a little frustrating. The rules also aren’t always explained very clearly, especially when you’re trying to figure out rewards. The website usually works fine, but finding the right reward info feels more annoying than it should be. It’s not a bad experience, just one of those preventable hassles that could be improved with clearer layout and better explanations

"Not worth it"
I wouldn’t go back. The pasta was dry, the juice was warm, and the whole meal just felt off. I’ve had better food at places that are way less... yeah, never again.

"The seats were clean, but I did notice…"
The seats were clean, but I did notice a few tiny crumbs on the tray
