Will your carry-on actually fit?

Check any bag against 83 airlines, fare by fare — measured the way airlines measure them, wheels and handle included.

The same bag, three different sets of dimensions.

Airlines measure the outside — wheels and handle included. Resellers and marketplaces quote whichever figure they happened to get. We use the manufacturer's own overall dimensions on every bag re reccomend.
