ITA Airways baggage allowance
Updated September 2026
Plenty of airlines reward a pricier cabin with a heavier carry-on allowance. ITA Airways doesn't: every hand luggage piece is capped at 8 kg regardless of class, sized to a maximum of 158 cm total dimensions. What Premium Economy and Business get instead is a second piece -- two bags at 8 kg each, versus one for everyone else.
Cabin bag by class
Economy: 1 piece, up to 8 kg. Premium Economy and Business: 2 pieces, up to 8 kg each. Check your exact bag against ITA Airways and 52 other airlines with our carry-on checker -- an 8 kg cap catches travelers used to 10 kg or 12 kg limits elsewhere.
Checked baggage by fare
Economy Light and Economy Classic both include one checked bag up to 23 kg. Economy Comfort steps up to two bags at 32 kg each, and Business includes two to three bags at 32 kg each depending on the route. Allowances can differ noticeably between flights within Europe and intercontinental routes, so it's worth double-checking the specific itinerary rather than assuming a flat rule across ITA's network.
Bottom line
Flying Business on ITA for the extra cabin bag rather than the weight limit makes sense here -- the allowance doubles in pieces, not kilos. See our best carry-on luggage guide for bags built to stay under an 8 kg limit.

Where to start looking on Amazon
A budget hardside pick with 4 spinner wheels — check its listed dimensions and weight against the limits above before buying.
One of the lighter carry-ons available — worth a look on the airlines above with a low cabin weight limit, since the bag's own empty weight eats into it.
