Alitalia hand baggage allowance in practice

Upvote:1

So the flight I was asking about happened. I took a hand luggage and a briefcase like the one pictured and it caused no issues. Nobody besides security even looked at what I was carrying on. Other travellers walked on with two carry-on suitcases each.

For anyone reading this in the future I would say you can probably take most backpack sized bags as a carry on accessory, it's not strictly policed.

Many laptop computer cases and handbags are close in size to the illustrated briefcase, a Solomon Chancellor Vernon, which measures 16.5 x 11 x 4.5 in (42 x 28 x 11.5 cm).

In comparison, a laptop case can measure 17 x 3 x 14 inches. While I haven't taken a briefcase, I had no issues boarding my Alitalia flights with both a large (14 x 3 x 10 in) tote and a carry-on suitcase. And many travellers put a smaller handbag/purse into a larger tote to comply with the one-plus-one restrictions.
