Please send delayed flight information on ITA Airways Letterhead (Allianz Travel Insurance requested this information).
Our luggage items were damaged as ITA Airways apparently left the luggage outside in the rain at the airport (Washington DC - IAD).
User's recommendation: Do not use this Airline as they left our luggage outside in the rain. When we got to our destination and opened our luggage our garments/articles were damaged/stained.

Verified Reviewer |Stealing with a fare-change
- - Website price is $1,212; the phone rate is $2,364, a $850 difference.
- - Asked for Base Fare, Taxes, and Surcharges; the staff refused.
Whilst trying to change the return date on a ticket with flexible changes, I called to ask about the fare difference because the exact same ticket is selling for $1.212 USD on their own website, yet the phone attendant is trying to charge me $2.364 USD (thereby forcing me to pay an $850 USD difference between my original ticket and the new ticket).
When asked to break the fare into Base Fare, Taxes and Surcharges, the phone attendant is commanded not to provide any more information, even though they are legally obliged to.
- Lie on fair charges and ticket swaps
Preferred solution: A fairly priced flight-date change for my return flight.
User's recommendation: Do not, ever, hire through ITA Airways

Verified Reviewer |Worst customer service that ever existed
- - Late arrival caused a missed Rome-Lamezia; no flights that day or next; train.
- - On return, no-show; flight home canceled; staff offered no help.
Our flight from the States arrived late; therefore, we missed our connection from Rome to Lamezia Terme. The ITA rep told us there were no flights for that day nor the next and advised us to take a train.
Upon return 10 days later, we were told that we were considered a no-show on arrival, and therefore, our flights home were cancelled. They would not help us one bit.
- Nonexistent customer service
Preferred solution: I believe that I am entitled to an explanation for what they did to us and who was responsible. They should refund me as well.
User's recommendation: stay away! They are horrible people!

Verified Reviewer |I have repeatedly tried to cancel and...
- - The online platform won't let me cancel or refund.
- - No Refund Request form on site; the service centre directs to call the USA from Australia.
I have repeatedly tried to cancel and request a refund for my flights on your online platform with no success. The platform does not appear to be working and fails .
There is also no Refund Request form available on the website to do this manually, despite saying there is one.
I called the Australian service centre who advised that I must call USA to speak to someone about this. My mobile phone is not configured to call overseas .
Can you please cancel and provide a refund for my flights- I understand there is a cancellation fee .
User's recommendation: Do not use ITA Airways- they make it impossible to cancel a flight and request a refund!

Lost/Delayed luggage
- - Luggage was lost for wife and daughter.
- - Clothes, shoes, and daily meds were missing.
- - The 03/24 flight to Rome had long holds by customer service.
Ita lost my wife's and daughter's luggage. They are without their clothes, shoes, and their daily medication.
Their customer service center - lol. You hold for 30 minutes and then they fumble giving you answers. Flight was 03/24 to Rome. Imagine being in Rome without your luggage and daily medication for 2 1/2 days and counting?
Not good! Sincerely, A pissed husband.

Verified ReviewerDamage laggages
- - Two passengers' luggage was missing in Rome; they filed a claim and got a form.
- - Luggage arrived next day; clothes were wet, stinky; receipts kept.
Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with product replacement. Nothing was resolved and I din't receive any funding.We would love to have a fund.
We went downstairs to file a claim for our luggage. They helped me at the desk, and they gave me a form. The lady at the desk said to us to go eat and buy what we needed for the day and night. We went to eat and bought some stuff for the night: toothpaste, pajamas, etc.
The next day, when we received the luggage (2), all the clothes were wet inside and stinky because they had been in transit for 2 days. So we washed the clothes, and I kept all the receipts. I took pictures, and I still have the form that the lady gave me. I really need some help, and I have proof of everything you need.
It has been so long— a year now. If you need any proof, please contact us.
Thank you for your consideration.

Verified Reviewer |Resolved: Please provide Notification of Baggage Delay letter includes Times of delivery from airlines P.I.R. code : FCOAZ13018.
- - ITA Airways served Milan–Rome on May 31, 2025, 19:00–20:10.
- - Luggage delivered Jun 2, 2025 at 16:33.
- - Issue Baggage Delay letter with exact delivery time.
I flew with ITA Airways in business class from Milan to Rome on May 31, 2025, Flight 19:00-20:10. The airline has a problem with delaying luggage delivery (P.I.R.
code: FCOAZ13018). I received my luggage back on June 2nd, 2025, at around 16:33. Total spent 3 days and 2 nights. The document that the delivery officer gave me did not specify the date and time of delivery (as attached document).
I am having trouble claiming compensation from my travel insurance because the Thai insurance company requires a Notification of Baggage Delay letter that includes the times of delivery from airlines with the exact date and time of the luggage delivery. I would like to kindly ask your airline or baggage handling company to issue me a certificate of delayed delivery of the Baggage Delay letter that includes the date and times of delivery.
It would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Ponpan Jindawattanawong
- Tried to send luggage to customer
