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 5.1 cm, 0.1 cm, 2.9 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.

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.
