Flight cancellation

On April 14, 2026, my flight from Rome Fiumicino (FCO) to San Francisco (SFO) on ITA Airways flight AZ640 was canceled. As a result, I was forced to rebook a flight from FCO to London Heathrow (LHR), stay overnight in London, and take British Airways flight BA287 from LHR to SFO on April 15, 2026.We attempted to contact ITA regarding the trip cancellation penalty, but our request was declined.

I would strongly recommend reading the reviews before booking with this airline and AVOIDING IT! I booked my ticket back in April for an international trip to Italy with another family member, and the entire booking process has been confusing from the beginning. Everything is charged separately, and what initially looks like a cheaper flight quickly becomes much more expensive. They make it seem like the first checked bag for an international flight is included, but it was NOT — I was told it would be $160 at the airport. You also have to pay separately for seat selection and other basic things. My flight was scheduled for 5 PM on a Saturday. At 5 PM on Friday, exactly 24 hours before departure, I was notified of a 2-hour delay. Then around 10 PM that night, the flight was completely CANCELLED. I spent about 45 minutes on the phone waiting to speak with someone, only to be given a hard time about getting a refund. I was eventually told the refund was processed, but the confirmation email looked like something typed out in the 1980s and gave absolutely no explanation of when I should expect to receive my money back. The customer service representative seemed annoyed, unhelpful, and completely uninterested in explaining anything. The entire experience was unnecessarily stressful, especially having an international flight cancelled with such short notice. This airline may LOOK cheaper when you first book, but once all the additional charges are added, it absolutely is not worth it. Please read the other reviews before booking. I wish I had. I would not recommend this airline.

Flight delay

Very slow at boarding because passengers are allowed large and too many hand luggage, again upon dis- embarking, delays die to passengers excess hand luggage. No explanation given at the time of the delay.

That was one of my worst, perhaps the worst experience i have ever had.Handling of the delay was terrible.First there where several changes of the schedule. Second,.the queue in front of the transfering desk was too long and it took us 2 hours to meet the ITA representative. Moreover, i am pregnant and nobody care to give me priority. Third, because we lost the second leg of the flight, ITA offered hotel accommodation to spend the night. However, the hotel was 1 hour away even though we had only 5 hours in total till we had to be in the airport again.

Service below international standards.

My flight FCO-CDG was cancelled and I was re-routed through LIN costing me 5 extra hours. Flights were delayed. My wife and I were separated on the LIN-CDG leg. At the very least we should have been upgraded. ZSGMNI.

they should offer 0 as an option for ITA if you are thinking of going to Italy avoid this airline like the plague. I had two individuals that booked business class tickets to attend a week of cooking classes i was managing. They had their flight cancelled 4 months before departure,, placed them on separate return flights, lied about availability on flight that would had been acceptable substitutes because they were booked and not available (more than 9 seats were available but nor offered) . they also applied scare tactics by telling them ITA had cancelled 37% of their flights getting them to agree to take flights that were not acceptable by cutting their trip and course short by 3 days, And to add insult to injury they said my clients would need to pay another 50% of the total flight cost to get the date they should have been given and my clients requested at the time of cancelation, we contacted customer service at least 5 times, wrote letters to customer service and actually got a case number. cancellation dept said to speak to customer service, customer service said cancellation dept should handle this problem, a complete run around and rude individuals that actually hung up on us twice. A very upsetting experience that has put a damper on a trip they were excited about taking, horrific company, fly anything but this airline
