How to Measure Your Bag

- Compare with the 22 × 14 × 9 inch carry-on limit.
- For your personal item, check if it slides under the seat (18 × 14 × 8 box).
Gotchas / Common Issues
- Overhead bins can fill quickly. Even if your bag is within size, you might be asked to gate-check.
- Regional jets have smaller bins, so most roller bags won’t fit overhead.
- Wheels and handles DO count, so measure carefully.
