How we know this

The manufacturer labels this as the outside of the bag, not the packing space inside. It is the measurement a gate agent takes.

Wheels, handle and feet add 2.1 cm, 1.5 cm, 7.1 cm to its three sides.

That gap is why a bag sold as carry-on size gets stopped: the box measures the space inside, the gate measures the outside.

The other sizes in this line

Same bag, same manufacturer, different dimensions — and often a different answer. This is the comparison a product page never shows you.

What we don't tell you

We check whether a bag fits. We don't review — and those are genuinely different jobs.

Whether a bag survives five years, whether the wheels cope with cobblestones, whether the warranty gets honoured, whether the handle rattles — none of that shows up in a dimension. We have nothing useful to say about any of it.

Rated elsewhere

Both of those are true. They are answering whether this is a good bag. We are answering whether it gets on the plane. Be wary of anyone claiming to settle both at once.

Bags that get past more airlines

Only bags carrying the manufacturer's own overall figure appear here — we will not put a bag forward as an answer on someone else's tape measure.

Flying somewhere specific? Check this bag against your actual airlines and the fare you booked — the answer changes a lot by fare.
