How to Measure Your Bag

- Compare with the 22 × 14 × 9 carry-on limit.
- For your personal item, check if it slides under the seat (9 × 10 × 17 box).
Gotchas / Common Issues
- On smaller regional jets, many carry-ons will not fit overhead and must be gate-checked.
- United is strict about personal item size (under-seat bags are checked more closely).
- Wheels and handles DO count, so measure carefully.
