PLEASE NOTE: in order to speed up boarding procedures, we invite you to verify size and weight of your hand baggage with one of the Alitalia representatives or by using one the bag gauges located near the Alitalia check-in desks before proceeding to the boarding gate.

Passengers who refuse or fail to carry out hand baggage check procedures before reaching the boarding gate, may be refused boarding.
