The manufacturer publishes one figure without saying whether it includes wheels and handle. It is probably the packing body, which runs small — so this bag is shown rather than recommended.
Every airline we track
On the cheapest economy fare each airline publishes. A different fare often changes the answer, which is what the trip checker is for.

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