Is economy Plus like first class?

Premium Plus seats are in a separate section of the cabin and are offered on certain long-haul routes. The seats are larger, have a better recline and are similar to the types of seats found in domestic first class. Economy Plus, on the other hand, involves standard economy seats with additional legroom.



Yes, you can take luggage on Italo trains in Italy, and the policy remains one of the most generous and flexible for 2026 travelers. Standard luggage is included for free in your fare, with no strict weight limits, provided you can manage the bags independently. For passengers in Smart Class, suitcases are restricted to a maximum size of 75x53x30 cm to ensure they fit in the overhead racks or vestibule areas. In Prima Business and Club Executive classes, even larger "XXL" suitcases are permitted and can be stored in the dedicated, spacious racks within the carriages or near the doors. Italo also allows folding bicycles, strollers, and scooters for free, as long as they are fully collapsed and stored in the designated luggage areas. Unlike budget airlines, there is no "per-bag" fee, making high-speed rail a premier choice for those moving with significant gear across the peninsula.
