Air Dolomiti from New York: 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 the New York area, the route onto Air Dolomiti runs through John F. Kennedy International (JFK) or Newark Liberty (EWR). Lufthansa flies from JFK to Frankfurt and Munich, and United flies from its Newark hub to both hubs as well; from either, Air Dolomiti carries you onward into Italy on a single Lufthansa Group ticket. This page explains the connection for New York travelers and how our independent U.S.-based team can help.

How New York travelers reach Air Dolomiti
Fly nonstop from JFK (Lufthansa) or Newark, EWR (United) to Frankfurt (FRA) or Munich (MUC) — the New York market has some of the most frequent transatlantic service in the country.
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 onward connection is protected — and so you are covered if a delay affects the connection.
JFK, Newark and the Lufthansa Group
At JFK, Lufthansa operates from Terminal 1; at Newark (EWR), United's transatlantic flights operate from its hub terminals. Choose the airport that is easier for you to reach and that serves your hub.
With two airports and two carriers, New York offers strong frequency and rebooking options if a schedule changes.
Factor in your ground travel time — JFK and Newark are on opposite sides of the metro area.
Where Air Dolomiti can take you from the hubs
From Frankfurt and Munich, Air Dolomiti reaches Verona, Venice, Bologna, Florence, Milan, Turin, Genoa, Bari, Cagliari and other Italian and European cities.

Frequently asked questions — New York travelers
Does Air Dolomiti fly nonstop from New York?
No. You fly Lufthansa from JFK or United from Newark (EWR) nonstop to Frankfurt or Munich, then connect onto Air Dolomiti for the final leg into Italy or Europe.
Should I use JFK or Newark?
Either works. Lufthansa flies to the hubs from JFK (Terminal 1); United flies from its Newark hub. Choose the airport easier for you to reach and that serves your hub — we can help you compare.
Can I fly New York to Venice or Verona on one ticket?
Yes. Booked as a single Lufthansa Group itinerary, you fly JFK or Newark to Frankfurt or Munich and then Air Dolomiti onward, with bags checked through and the connection protected.
What if my New York flight is delayed and I miss the connection?
On one ticket the airline rebooks you at no charge, and EU passenger rules may entitle you to care or compensation. See our missed-connection and cancelled-flight help, or call us.
Do you book the flights for me?
We are an independent U.S.-based assistance service, not the airline. We help you understand routings, fares and rules and troubleshoot changes, baggage and disruptions; tickets are issued by the airline or ticket seller.
