Hand baggage must not exceed 115 cm overall. Larger luggage is labelled and taken for storage in the hold at the check-in desk. For the weight limits applied to baggage (allowance), you should contact your airline.
Safety regulations: what liquids/fluids is it possible to take on-board?
European law in force since 2006 limits, but does not prohibit, liquids in hand luggage (perfumes, creams, shaving foam, cosmetics, toothpaste, etc.).
The rules provided for in the EU regulations are mandatory, thus, the security officers are obliged to enforce them to the letter.
We suggest that you bring a resealable transparent plastic bag with you to the airport, in order to avoid delays or hitches. If you do not have a resealable plastic bag, a small number are available at the ADR information desks.
Once you have gone through security, the purchase of liquids is not subject to any restrictions: in fact, the shops at the airport provide sealed bags to carry liquids in until boarding.
Acceptance procedures for national and international flights vary depending on the destination and the airline, which should be contacted for detailed information. At the check-in desk a ticket and a valid document – passport or identity card – should be shown to the staff of the handling company. In addition, you should check that the country you are travelling to does not require any vaccinations or a visa.
As a result of the liberalization of airport services, baggage reclaim is carried out by ground handling companies only, not by the management company.
The handling companies that carry out ground services for the airlines at Rome Ciampino Airport are:
Aviation Services
Consulta
If you lose your luggage, you should contact the Lost Luggage desk of the handling company responsible immediately, shown on the screen next to the baggage reclaim belts.
How to make baggage reclaim easier
To avoid your bag being confused with other bags of a similar size, shape and colour, you should make it recognizable with labels, stickers, coloured bands, etc. These details will make it easier to identify your bag upon arrival or if it is lost.
We suggest that you put a business card or a photocopy of a document in the suitcase to allow identification if there is any confusion or if the external label is missing.
At Arrivals you should check the reclaims’ screen for the number of the belt on which your luggage will arrive.
What to do at security
To reduce the time spent at security, we would suggest that you be prepared before reaching the metal detector and follow the instructions shown on the screens by taking off everything that if detected, could require a more thorough check of you and your luggage. Put the following articles in the trays provided at security: electrical/electronic items, jackets, coats, metal objects, watches, wallets, purses, keys, belts, buckles, etc. Remember that it is not permitted to wear or carry in your hand luggage objects that can be used as weapons (metal files, scissors, golf clubs, etc.), explosives or flammable, poisonous, toxic and infectious substances.
In addition, a list of objects not allowed on board is displayed at the check-in desk.

How to read the boarding pass?

The boarding pass issued at check-in contains the following information:

Schengen area
In 1985 France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands established among themselves a territory without borders, called the Schengen Area, after the name of the town in Luxembourg where the first agreements were signed.
This intergovernmental cooperation was then extended to thirteen countries, with the signing Amsterdam agreement in 1997.
Now the Schengen agreement brings 25 European countries together:
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Hungary.
Foreigners: the citizens of all other countries. For entrance to, stay in, or transit across the entire Schengen area, foreigners must be in possession of a passport or another travel document recognized as valid to cross the borders of all Schengen countries.
