I used to fly AZ quite a bit but stopped several years ago when it discontinued its direct TLV-MXP flights. Today, therefore, I am in the same situation as a newbie would be.

I will be flying TLV-FCO-VCE (and return) next month. (My ticket is in Business Class but the FCO-VCE segments only have Economy.) I know that AZ's website says that hand luggage is restricted to 55 cms in height and 8 kilos in weight. My question is how strict are they in enforcing this?

Can I get away with a slightly larger bag or one that weighs one or two kilos more?
