CABIN PRODUCT FINDER

Which ITA Airways Business Class cabin is this?

Use the complete aircraft map. The target A330-900neo has 291 total seats and 30 Business seats; the target A350-900 has 319 total seats and 33 Business seats. A 256-seat A330-200 with 20 seats in 2-2-2 is the legacy cabin.

TARGET CABIN

ITA A330neo Business Class

Airbus A330-900neo · 291 seats · 30 Business seats

ITA's A330neo has 30 Thompson Vantage XL seats in a staggered 1-2-1 layout, with direct aisle access, a fully flat bed, a 17.3-inch 4K screen, and Bluetooth connectivity.

  • 291 total seats
  • 30 Business seats
  • 24 Premium Economy seats
  • 237 Economy seats
  • Eight staggered 1-2-1 rows
  • No closing doors
Do not confuse this with the older A330-200. The target map has 30 direct-aisle Business seats; the legacy map has 20 seats in 2-2-2.Open ITA's A330neo seat map
TARGET CABIN

ITA A350 Business Class

Airbus A350-900 · 319 seats · 33 Business seats

ITA's A350 has 33 Collins Super Diamond seats in a reverse-herringbone 1-2-1 layout. Every passenger has direct aisle access and a fully flat bed, but the seats do not have closing doors.

  • 319 total seats
  • 33 Business seats
  • 24 Premium Economy seats
  • 262 Economy seats
  • Reverse-herringbone 1-2-1 layout
  • No closing doors
The 33-seat map is intentionally uneven and reflects the aircraft's inherited interior. Match the complete 33J/24W/262Y configuration rather than relying on an A350 label alone.Open ITA's A350 seat map
LEGACY CABIN

ITA legacy A330-200 Business Class

Airbus A330-200 · 256 seats · 20 Business seats

ITA's older A330-200 has 20 lie-flat Business seats in 2-2-2. Window passengers do not have direct aisle access, making it materially different from the A330neo and A350 cabins.

  • 256 total seats
  • 20 Business seats
  • 17 Premium Economy seats
  • 219 Economy seats
  • 2-2-2 Business layout
  • No direct aisle access from every seat
An older A330 can appear as an operational substitution. Avoid it when the goal is ITA's direct-aisle product, and recheck the map close to departure.Compare ITA's legacy A330 seat map
DIFFERENT AIRCRAFT

ITA A321neo Business Suite

Airbus A321neo/LR · narrow-body door suite

ITA's A321neo long-range cabin includes a door-equipped lie-flat Business suite, but it is a narrow-body product used on different routes—not the widebody cabin scheduled on reviewed U.S.–Rome flights.

  • Airbus A321neo or A321LR
  • Single-aisle aircraft
  • Door-equipped Business suites
  • Different seat map from the A330neo and A350
  • Not a reviewed U.S.–Rome widebody product
A suite door does not make this the target ITA long-haul widebody product. None of the route snapshots in this guide uses the A321neo/LR.Compare ITA's A321neo cabin

REVIEWED U.S. → ROME PRODUCT ROUTES

Summer 2026 ITA widebody cabin snapshot

These snapshots intentionally omit JFK and Miami because their assignments mix the A330neo, A350, and occasional older A330. ITA can substitute aircraft on every route, so confirm the exact flight and full seat map before transferring points.

HOW TO FIND IT

Search Aeroplan for the exact ITA-operated flight. ITA Business partner inventory is very scarce, and a scheduled aircraft or published chart price does not mean Aeroplan can see a seat.

FEES & SURCHARGES

Aeroplan adds its C$39 partner booking fee and applicable taxes, but does not add carrier-imposed surcharges. Confirm the complete points-and-cash result before transferring.

Booking checklist and restrictions

Do this in order

  1. Search the exact AZ flight in Aeroplan
  2. Confirm the Business seat and C$39 partner fee
  3. Verify the 30-seat A330neo or 33-seat A350 map
  4. Transfer points only after the award is bookable

Know before you book

  • ITA partner Business space is very scarce
  • The distance band differs for LAX and SFO
  • A C$39 partner booking fee applies
  • Aircraft assignments can change
  • Transfers are generally final

HOW TO FIND IT

Search the exact ITA-operated flight in Miles & More. If the live program permits a one-way award, confirm its mileage price rather than automatically assuming half of the published round-trip chart.

FEES & SURCHARGES

Taxes, fees, and carrier-imposed surcharges are additional and can be substantial. Review the complete live miles-and-cash quote before transferring Rove miles.

Do this in order

  1. Search Miles & More for the exact AZ flight
  2. Confirm round-trip or permitted one-way pricing
  3. Review taxes and carrier surcharges
  4. Verify the aircraft map, then transfer Rove miles and ticket

Know before you book

  • The official chart publishes a round-trip value
  • One-way eligibility and pricing require a live check
  • ITA award inventory is capacity controlled
  • Taxes and carrier surcharges apply
  • Rove transfers are generally final

BEFORE YOU TRANSFER
