We are taking Alitalia from Amsterdam to Rome and they sound pretty serious about their luggage restrictions. Only one piece of hand luggage with the regular 8kg and 55x25x35 cm restrictions.
But it also says: "Briefcases and laptop computers are considered hand baggage and may be brought on board in addition to the limits indicated.
Crutches are also considered hand baggage."
Do you think purses fall under the same category as briefcases and laptops? Or should I try to cram my purse into my carry on? What about dear husbands CPAP?
