Alitalia Has Ceased Operations

No. Alitalia operated its last flight on 14 October 2021, after 74 years in operation, so there are no Alitalia flights left to book or pay for in instalments. Laters lists 650+ airlines, and you can search those to find a flight on your route instead.

No Alitalia tickets are on sale, because the airline stopped flying on 14 October 2021. Pay later is a form of credit and only applies to a flight you can actually book. Laters offers it at checkout on every airline, route and fare class that is bookable, which is more than 650 airlines.

There is no Alitalia booking to check, since Alitalia's final flight was on 14 October 2021. On the airlines you can still book, Laters issues the e-ticket instantly after approval, so a decision is made before you are committed. Paying later is credit, so only borrow what you are confident you can repay.

Passengers booked to fly after Alitalia's last flight on 14 October 2021 were offered an earlier departure or a full refund. If you are still paying instalments on such a booking, contact Laters before you stop paying and ask how the refund applies to your plan. Do not assume the refund ends the repayment by itself.

A missed payment is still a missed payment, even though Alitalia stopped flying on 14 October 2021. The refund Alitalia passengers were offered does not automatically settle an instalment plan. Read your agreement for the consequences, and contact Laters early if you are struggling to pay.

Alitalia passengers booked to fly after 14 October 2021 were offered either an earlier departure or a full refund. If your ticket falls into that group, you are entitled to ask for the refund rather than accept a new date. Tell Laters if you are paying by instalments, so the refund and your remaining payments are dealt with together.

No Alitalia allowance is confirmed, because the airline's own baggage page is no longer online and figures from third-party sites were not used. Alitalia stopped flying on 14 October 2021, so no bag can be checked on it now. Check the baggage page of the airline you rebook with.

No Alitalia check-in opening or closing times are confirmed. Alitalia has not operated since its last flight on 14 October 2021, so there is nothing to check in for. Use the check-in times of the airline on your new booking.

No Alitalia fare can be bought, but Alitalia once served more than 80 cities across Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas and Australia, and long trips like those cost more. Compare prices from multiple providers in one search, then choose the plan whose instalments you can cover without strain. A longer plan usually means more payments, so check the total you will repay.

Alitalia was headquartered in Rome, but it has not flown since 14 October 2021, so no country can book it. For other airlines, check the options shown at checkout for your country. Laters lists 650+ airlines, and availability is confirmed when you reach payment.

An Alitalia booking cannot affect your score, because none can be made after the airline's last flight on 14 October 2021. On other airlines, pay later is credit, so how it appears on your file depends on the terms shown at checkout. Late or missed payments are the main risk, so borrow only what you can repay.

The MilleMiglia programme closed permanently on 31 December 2025. After Alitalia stopped flying, SkyTeam agreed that members could keep earning and redeeming miles on selected SkyTeam members' flights. Booking through Laters does not revive the programme.

Ryanair and easyJet are low-cost airlines that competed with Alitalia, and both have pages on Laters. ITA Airways, which began flying on 15 October 2021, the day after Alitalia's last flight, has its own page too. All three can be booked and paid for later at checkout, subject to approval.

Not with Alitalia, which stopped flying on 14 October 2021. Rome to Milan was one of its key domestic routes. By 2018, train passengers on that corridor had risen to 3.6 million from 1 million in 2008. Laters can search other airlines for the route, and you can pay later at checkout on bookable flights.

No. Alitalia operated its last flight on 14 October 2021 and has not flown since. Its successor, ITA Airways, began flying the very next day.

There are none. Alitalia's last flight was on 14 October 2021 and the airline has not operated since, so there is no Alitalia fare, flight or booking to check the status of today.

Alitalia had been loss-making for years and spent long periods under special administration. Rather than keep funding the old airline, Italy set up ITA Airways as a smaller replacement, and Alitalia flew its last flight on 14 October 2021.

ITA Airways, Italy's newly formed carrier, which started flying on 15 October 2021, the day after Alitalia's last flight. ITA began smaller than Alitalia, with 52 aircraft against Alitalia's roughly 110.

There is no flying airline called Alitalia any more. ITA Airways bought the Alitalia brand name from Alitalia's administrators for €90 million in October 2021 to control its future use, and in September 2024 adopted "ITA, inspired by Alitalia" as a tagline alongside its own brand.

No. "Alitalia" and "Alitalia Airlines" refer to the same carrier, which stopped flying on 14 October 2021 and has not resumed operations under either name.

14 October 2021, after 74 years in operation. That evening's Cagliari-to-Rome service was its final flight.

The Alitalia brand itself is owned by ITA Airways, which bought the naming rights in 2021. ITA Airways is currently majority-owned by Italy's Ministry of Economy and Finance, with Lufthansa holding a 41% stake; Lufthansa has agreed to raise that to 90%, a deal expected to close in the first quarter of 2027.

No, they were separate airlines. Air Italy was a different Italian carrier, formerly Meridiana and owned by Qatar Airways and the Aga Khan Fund, which ceased operations and entered liquidation on 11 February 2020, over a year and a half before Alitalia's own last flight.

Yes, on other airlines. Not on Alitalia, which stopped flying in 2021: search your route on Laters.com, choose one of 650+ bookable airlines, pick a plan at checkout, and the e-ticket arrives once payment is approved.

Any of the 650+ airlines Laters.com lists as bookable; Alitalia is not among them, since it stopped flying in 2021. Which plans show at checkout depends on the country you book from, not the airline.

Not specifically for Alitalia, which stopped flying on 14 October 2021: Laters.com offers pay later at checkout on its website rather than through a dedicated app. Some individual providers, such as Klarna, publish their own apps for managing an existing plan, separate from the Laters.com checkout itself.

Klarna operates as a company in Italy, but Laters.com's curated Italy pay-later options are Scalapay, SeQura and WeChat Pay; Klarna is not currently one of the providers Laters.com offers for Italian bookings.

Not for an Alitalia booking, since Alitalia has not sold a ticket since 14 October 2021. Elsewhere, it depends on the country you book from: Klarna appears at Laters.com checkout in some markets, such as the US, UK, Germany, Sweden, Australia and Canada, but not for Italy, where Scalapay, SeQura and WeChat Pay are the curated options instead.

Where Klarna is offered at Laters.com checkout, yes, including interest-free Pay in 4 or Pay in 3 depending on the country. Klarna is not currently offered for Italian bookings on Laters.com specifically.

Laters.com does not rate providers against each other, and none of them apply to Alitalia, which stopped flying on 14 October 2021. Flex Pay by Upgrade is a US and Canada-only monthly financing product (0% to 36% APR in the US, subject to approval), not available in Italy; compare its terms against the other plans shown at checkout before choosing.
