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.

Travel + Leisure — Best minimalist“Would benefit from more interior pockets.”
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.
