Air Dolomiti from Los Angeles: Connecting through Frankfurt and Munich
Air Dolomiti is a European regional airline in the Lufthansa Group and does not operate its own nonstop flights from the United States. So travel on Air Dolomiti from the U.S. almost always means a transatlantic flight to a Lufthansa Group hub — Frankfurt or Munich — and then an Air Dolomiti connection onward, usually into Italy.
From Los Angeles, the route onto Air Dolomiti runs through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Both Lufthansa and United fly nonstop from LAX to Frankfurt and Munich, and from either hub Air Dolomiti carries you onward into Italy on a single Lufthansa Group ticket. This page explains the connection for L.A. travelers and how our independent U.S.-based team can help.

How Los Angeles travelers reach Air Dolomiti
Fly nonstop from LAX to Frankfurt (FRA) or Munich (MUC) — the route is served by both Lufthansa and United, giving daily options to each hub.
Connect at Frankfurt or Munich onto Air Dolomiti for the final leg to Verona, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Milan and more.
Keep the trip on one Lufthansa Group ticket so bags check through and the long westbound connection is protected.
LAX and the Lufthansa Group
Lufthansa operates from the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), LAX's main international terminal; United's transatlantic flights operate from its own terminal — check your ticket.
Because the westbound leg from Europe is long, choosing the hub that offers the smoothest single connection matters more here than on shorter East Coast routings.
Allow generous time at LAX international check-in and for any terminal transfer.

From Frankfurt and Munich, Air Dolomiti reaches Verona, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Bari, Cagliari and other Italian and European cities.
