ITA Airways' Economy fares include one 23 kg checked bag, Premium Economy includes two, and Economy Light includes none. Business gets two 32 kg bags, or two 23 kg bags on domestic flights in Italy. Every cabin bag is capped at 8 kg and 55 x 40 x 23 cm, wheels included, plus a 30 x 40 x 15 cm personal item.
Economy includes 1 x 23 kg checked bag, and Premium Economy includes 2 x 23 kg. Business gets 2 x 32 kg, dropping to 2 x 23 kg on domestic flights in Italy, and Business Comfort carries 1 x 23 kg on those domestic routes. Economy Light comes with no checked bag at all. Each bag may measure up to 158 cm in total.
Business Comfort is the one Business fare that ITA Airways lists with a single bag, and only on flights inside Italy.
| CABIN OR FARE | FREE CHECKED BAGS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|
| Economy Light | None | Pay per bag |
| Economy | 1 x 23 kg | 2 x 23 kg to/from Japan |
| Premium Economy | 2 x 23 kg | |
| Business | 2 x 32 kg | 2 x 23 kg within Italy |
| Business Comfort | 1 x 23 kg | Domestic flights in Italy |
The cabin bag limit is 55 x 40 x 23 cm and 8 kg, with handles, side pockets and wheels counted in the size. You also get a personal item on top of that bag. The carry-on page applies one rule and does not split it by cabin or fare.
A personal item can measure up to 30 x 40 x 15 cm. ITA Airways names a handbag, small backpack or laptop bag as examples, and the item rides under the seat in front. No weight limit is published for it, so the size is the rule to watch.
Economy Light includes 0 checked bags, while the other Economy fares include 1 x 23 kg. Light passengers pay a per-flight supplement for the first checked bag, and also when the cabin bag goes over the weight or size limit. Flex and Comfort Plus fares pick up a second 23 kg bag on Italy to Japan flights. Basic is not a separate fare: ITA groups it with Classic, Saver and Comfort, so it carries the same 1 x 23 kg.
Fee tables group fares under labels such as Classic/Saver/Basic/Comfort and Classic Plus/Basic Plus, so one price row can cover several fare names.

ITA Airways quotes these fees in euros and US dollars side by side, for example €60 / $75 for the first domestic Light bag.

Checked bags can measure up to 158 cm, adding height, width and depth. Standard pieces in Economy and Premium Economy are 23 kg, and Business pieces on international routes are 32 kg. No single item may exceed 32 kg, whatever you pay.
A bag between 158 and 203 cm counts as oversize. It costs €60 on domestic flights, €80 to Europe and North Africa excluding Egypt, and €300 to all other countries, including Tel Aviv and Egypt. Paying for 23 to 32 kg is sold only in Business, so in Economy a heavier bag needs a second piece instead.
