What to know about Aeroitalia carry-on rules

• Aeroitalia (Italy) flies mostly out of FCO and BGY; Spain, France, Morocco and Algeria are among its key markets.
• Unlike 189 of the 220 verified airlines on this site, Aeroitalia does not include a sized cabin bag in its standard fare.
• On Aeroitalia, a standard US carry-on of 22 × 14 × 9 in (55.9 × 35.6 × 22.9 cm) is 2.9 cm (1.1 in) too big on the depth (and 1 other limit); the limit is 55×40×20 cm.
• Tested against Aeroitalia's 55×40×20 cm limit, a typical European cabin case of 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin).

Aeroitalia personal item: what fits under the seat

• On All fares, the personal item is the only free bag Aeroitalia allows in the cabin, so it has to hold everything you take on board.
• Filled as a box, Aeroitalia's 40×30×20 cm personal item holds about 24 litres, above the median of 18 L across the 105 airlines that publish three personal item sides.
• Against the 48 airlines from Europe that publish a personal item size (average 87.2 cm in total), Aeroitalia allows 90 cm, more than 57% of them.
• By volume, the 40×30×20 cm personal item on Aeroitalia is 55% of the 55×40×20 cm cabin bag: about 24 L against 44 L.
• A soft 40 × 30 × 20 cm (15.7 × 11.8 × 7.9 in) under-seat bag matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin) against Aeroitalia's 40×30×20 cm personal item limit.
• With 90 cm in total, the Aeroitalia personal item is bigger than 58 and smaller than 27 of the 108 verified airlines that publish a personal item size.
• Other personal item limits at the same airport: ITA Airways at FCO (30×40×15 cm) and Neos at BGY (40×30×20 cm), against 40×30×20 cm on Aeroitalia.

Our notes on Aeroitalia

Aeroitalia treats cabin baggage as two separate products. The small bag of 40 × 30 × 20 cm comes with every ticket, whatever fare family you book, and it travels under the seat in front of you. The larger 55 × 40 × 20 cm bag, up to 10 kg, is not part of any fare by default: Aeroitalia sells it as an extra, in a package together with priority boarding.

Aeroitalia's FAQ gives no weight for the small bag, so for that one the size is the limit that matters. If you are flying from Rome Fiumicino or Bergamo with a classic trolley, add the large cabin baggage package when you book instead of assuming a standard 55 cm case is covered by your ticket.

Yes: against Aeroitalia's 55×40×20 cm limit, a hard 55 × 40 × 20 cm (21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in) case matches the limit exactly (0 cm margin).

How big can a personal item be on Aeroitalia?
