ITA Airways Baggage Allowance

Free checked and carry-on baggage allowances by cabin class and route. Allowances vary by route, ticket type, and frequent flyer status — always confirm with the official baggage policy before you fly.

Checked baggage

Piece concept; Light fare includes no free checked bag. Standard Economy is 1 × 23 kg; several route- and fare-specific exceptions raise allowance to 2 × 23 kg (or keep 1 × 23 kg for Comfort Italy–Japan). Max 158 cm per bag.

Label	Amount	Notes
Economy Light — all routes	No baggage	Rendered verbatim on checked baggage page table: row 'Economy Light' → 'No baggage' (https://www.ita-airways.com/xx/en/book-and-prepare/travel-information/baggage/checked-baggage). This Light fare includes no free checked baggage; checked bags are paid extra (price_categories domain). Each piece max 158 cm (sum of height + width + depth) — stated above the same table: 'Each piece of baggage can have a maximum size of 158 cm (sum of height + width + depth).'
Economy — most routes	1 x 23 kg	Rendered verbatim on checked baggage page table: row 'Economy' → '1 x 23 kg*' — asterisk links to Economy Exceptions footnote. Standard free allowance for Economy on most destinations; exceptions for Japan/Africa/Middle East are captured in the following items and in the footnote verbatim. Max 158 cm per bag applies; the same page notes country-specific restrictions may apply and passengers should check consulate guidance.
Economy — flights to/from Japan	2 × 23 kg	Rendered verbatim in Economy Exceptions footnote: '2 × 23 kg on flights to/from Japan'. This general Japan exception is overridden for the Italy→Japan fare-specific rows below (Comfort vs Comfort Plus/Flex).
Economy Comfort — Italy to Japan	1 × 23 kg	Rendered verbatim in Economy Exceptions: '1 × 23 kg on flights from Italy to Japan in Economy Comfort'. Despite the general 2 × 23 kg Japan rule, this specific fare retains 1 × 23 kg.
Economy Comfort Plus / Flex / Green — Italy to Japan; Accra/Dakar; Saudi Arabia–USA/Canada	2 × 23 kg	Rendered verbatim as three separate footnote bullets sharing the same amount: '2 × 23 kg on flights from Italy to Japan in Economy Comfort Plus and Economy Flex'; '2 × 23 kg on flights from Accra and Dakar in Economy Comfort Plus, Economy Green and Economy Flex'; '2 × 23 kg on flights from Saudi Arabia to Usa and Canada in Economy Comfort Plus and Economy Flex'. These fare families receive the 2 × 23 kg allowance on those specific corridors; combined into one item because amount is identical — routes distinguished in this note. Country-specific restrictions note and 158 cm max per piece still apply.

2 × 32 kg on most routes; reduced to 2 × 23 kg on domestic Italy; Business Comfort is a domestic-only product at 1 × 23 kg. Max 158 cm per bag.

Label	Amount	Notes
Business — all routes except domestic Italy	2 × 32 kg	Rendered verbatim on checked baggage page table: row 'Business' contains '2 × 32 kg / 2 × 23 kg on domestic flights in Italy' — this item captures the pre-slash portion (2 × 32 kg for non-domestic). Split from combined cell for clarity; original combined wording preserved in the companion domestic item. Max 158 cm per bag (table header note). Cross-checked via same page paragraph: 'The following table shows the baggage you can check in according to your travel class and destination. Each piece of baggage can have a maximum size of 158 cm (sum of height + width + depth).'
Business — domestic flights in Italy	2 × 23 kg	Rendered verbatim on checked baggage page table: row 'Business' contains '2 × 23 kg on domestic flights in Italy' — the post-slash portion of the same cell. Max 158 cm per bag applies; domestic routing is the only corridor where Business standard is downgraded from 32 kg to 23 kg per piece.
Business Comfort — domestic flights in Italy	1 x 23 kg	Rendered verbatim on checked baggage page table: row 'Business Comfort' → '1 x 23 kg on domestic flights in Italy'. Business Comfort appears to be a domestic-only fare product; no non-domestic Business Comfort allowance is listed on this page. Max 158 cm per bag applies.

Carry-on baggage

All cabins

Single uniform hand-luggage rule across all travel classes: one overhead carry-on (max 8 kg, 55 × 40 × 23 cm) plus one personal item (max 40 × 30 × 15 cm). Dimensions include handles/wheels.

All routes and classes1 carry-on bag max. 8 kg (55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm) + 1 personal item (40 cm x 30 cm x 15 cm)
- Rendered verbatim on Hand Luggage page (https://www.ita-airways.com/xx/en/book-and-prepare/travel-information/baggage/carry-on-baggage) paragraph: 'You may bring one carry-on bag, with a maximum weight of 8 kg and dimensions of 55 cm x 40 cm x 23 cm. These measurements include all handles, side pockets, and wheels.'

- Page does not publish a per-cabin split for hand luggage (unlike checked); the same rule wording applies to all travel classes on this page. Volare/loyalty extra bag benefits are not listed on this page and are excluded from the baseline amount per scope.
