Smooth flight, bad carry on luggage handling
The flight from Barcelona to Rome went smoothly, departing and landing on time. However, we had to check in our luggage, despite it being carry-on baggage that met all ITA requirements. We asked multiple times to avoid this because of potential delays in claiming our bags at Fiumicino, which could have caused us to miss our train. The staff didn't care and started making excuses, saying the baggage exceeded the size limits. When we proved this was untrue, they came up with other excuses, like exceeding the weight limit. We asked them to check again, but they refused and ignored our concerns.
We had specifically booked only carry-on luggage for this reason. The backpack they made me check in came out super dirty. So disappointing.
