Welcome on board. Have a good flight, everyone!
ben-ve-NU-ti — stress on third syllable. a BOR-do — stress on 'bor'. BUON vo-LO.
This is a phrase you will hear cabin crew say — but you can also use it to greet fellow travellers.
'Benvenuti' is the plural form of 'benvenuto' (welcome). 'A bordo' (on board) is a fixed phrase. 'Buon volo' (have a good flight) is to flights what 'buon viaggio' (have a good journey) is to land travel. Both are warm, standard Italian farewells for travellers.
Buon viaggio!
Have a good journey!
General travel farewell — used for any mode of transport
Benvenuto a Roma!
Welcome to Rome!
Said on arrival — cabin crew announcement on landing
Grazie per aver volato con noi.
Thank you for flying with us.
Cabin crew farewell as passengers disembark
Italian cabin crew (assistenti di volo) are known for their warm, professional style. ITA Airways staff wear distinctive Italian-designed uniforms. On Italian domestic flights, the atmosphere tends to be more relaxed and conversational than on northern European carriers. Italians frequently applaud on landing — a custom that dates back several decades.
