As part of the transition, ITA has begun releasing award space to partners. Now,\u00a0it appears that you can use your Avianca LifeMiles for ITA Airways flights, although no formal announcement has been made by either airline.<\/p>\n<p>Here's an example of some ITA routes bookable with LifeMiles.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"ITA_Airways_Routes_Bookable_With_Avianca_LifeMiles\">ITA Airways Routes Bookable With Avianca LifeMiles<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We don't know exactly how long ITA Airways flights have been bookable with LifeMiles, but it's likely relatively new, since ITA didn't officially join the Star Alliance until April 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>As a refresher, the airline <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/airlines\/ita-airways-joining-star-alliance\/\" rel=\"noopener\">announced it would leave the SkyTeam alliance<\/a> in early 2025.

The Oneworld Alliance has a great presence in Europe with Iberia and British Airways. If you earn Avios, you can likely get around Europe for much cheaper. For instance, even during peak travel times, Iberia charges just 8,000 Avios for an economy flight from Rome to Madrid. During non-peak travel, that goes down to 6,500 Avios in economy or 16,500 Avios in business. Avianca doesn't offer peak and off-peak pricing, so the rates above are standard for this route.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_260396\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"900\/143\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-260396 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-15.52.01.png\" alt=\"Iberia search results FCO to MAD\" width=\"900\" height=\"143\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-15.52.01.png 1932w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-15.52.01-750x119.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-15.52.01-900x143.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-15.52.01-768x122.png 768w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-15.52.01-1536x243.png 1536w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Screenshot-2026-04-28-at-15.52.01-1920x306.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of Iberia<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>If you book an economy ticket, choosing Iberia over ITA booked through LifeMiles can save you up to 6,000 points.
