ITA Airways outlines updated guidelines for hand baggage restrictions

Passengers are reminded that specific restrictions apply to certain items due to safety regulations. Hoverboards and similar devices powered by lithium batteries are not accepted as either checked or carry-on baggage. Items such as scissors, pocket knives, and certain tools are prohibited in the cabin. Electronic smoking devices cannot be used on board, while lighters are only allowed on one's person.

The European Commission has reinstated a limit on liquids carried in hand luggage at Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino airports since September 1st, 2024. Liquids must be in containers of no more than 100 ml each unless traveling from airports with advanced screening technology where they can remain in carry-on bags during screening.

Strict veterinary controls govern animal-derived foodstuffs brought into the EU due to potential disease risks. Travelers from specific regions may carry small amounts for personal use without official checks.

For code-share flights, the operating carrier's baggage policy applies throughout if entirely operated by them. For connecting flights with different carriers, passengers should contact customer service for detailed policies.
