Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew ITA Airways from Rome Fiumicino to New York JFK in economy classic. Had one cabin roller at 7.5 kg plus a laptop bag as my personal item. The 55 x 35 x 25 cm bag fit the overhead bin easily and boarding was smooth. Gate staff did not weigh bags on this flight but I have seen them do spot checks at FCO before.
Economy Classic fare from Milan to London with one checked suitcase. Mine weighed 22 kg which was under the 23 kg allowance. The bag arrived on the belt quickly at Heathrow. Solid service for a European full-service carrier with one free checked bag included.
Departed Rome Fiumicino Airport on an ITA morning flight to Paris. Standard EU 100 ml liquid rule at security, all toiletries inside the clear plastic bag. Security was efficient and I had no issues. Duty-free purchases after security stayed sealed with the receipt as required.
