The point which should be taken into notice is that when the total number of inches (e.g. 45”) is used to show the maximum size of any measurement then it means the total of inches show the total of the length, breath and height of that thing combined.
There are some defined dimensions which are used to standardize these totals (for an example, 22 x 14 x 9, standard for 45 inches) but in case you own a bag having irregular shape and it fulfills the total of the inches but still there is a risk of it being rejected. In most stores, there are bags with the name of “carry-on” but they don’t have the standard 45” inches size actually but larger than that.
The luggage stores not only but manufacturers also not measure these bags accurately. Most of the airlines accept the standard safe maximum size 45” with 22” x 14” x 9” as dimensions but some accept maximum 55”. They measure the inner size of the compartment usually leaving all the outer pockets, wheels and carry handle, which will only add to the number of total inches.
If your bag exceeds even one extra inch then you’ll have to try to squeeze and fit your bag into the luggage template by the gate. You’ll get on board having legal but a large sized carryon content.
If you find your overhead bins already full then you will have to fit your luggage under the front seat but it may not fit there, no matter your bag is under the standard size guideline of the airlines.
You’ll mostly find on the international airlines that the space under the front seat is getting really smaller and the reason is they have fit electronic boxes under to entertain each passenger.
If you find that the seat is free from that blocking box then you’ll notice very little space under the aisle seat, a little more under the wing seat and most space under the middle one and this could be taken as the only advantage of this seat. Your bag can just fit into that space in words but not in real because of the geometry and angles of the space.
You will have to free yourself by bringing the smallest bag of your true need for your ease and the fellow passengers as well. The most airlines restrict you with their rules about the luggage size, weight and the number of luggage brought to the plane but U.S. domestic airlines are liberal about their limits.
Traveler’s survey
Talking about the survey taken in June 04 of Travel Insider Newsletter readers, 80% of readers said that they did not find any problem exceeding their carryon luggage than the given limits.
But you will have a different opinion on this if you will find the overhead bins filling up all the space with big sized heavy weight carryon bags and there is no space for your small size bag, which you brought following all the guidelines and rules. 94.5% readers had the statement that they don’t exceed carryon luggage limits.
These items are for example a briefcase, camera, Handbag/Purse, Laptop (in carry bag), and other items in 36" limit as total dimension, Reading Matter, Small book-bag style backpack, and an Umbrella.
Generally you are allowed to carry a bag and a personal item but some airlines give you the relaxation to bring content e.g. coats, hats and other 'outer clothing' items, 'assistive devices' such as crutches/canes and wheelchairs, diaper bags and approved child safety seats.
These airlines do not charge any extra cash for this. If you are unlucky for having an airline which forces you to follow the carryon luggage guidelines then you will have to get your disallowed items checked. Some international airlines restrict you especially about the weight of your carryon luggage.
In some airlines, there is so much pathetic and absurd limit of weight as low as 11lbs which even is less than the total weight of your carryon bag.
So you need to be very careful while flying on an international airline otherwise you will surely find someone, the next time when you would be on the airport, worriedly and anxiously unpacking and then repacking his carryon luggage on the checking counter’s floor, and would get shocked if he would be YOU! It is seen sometimes that even international airlines also have smaller standard limits for carryon luggage allowances.
If you want to save your self from all this hectic and want your luggage bags to get approved by both domestic and international airlines then you need to have one bag or two of smaller sizes whose combined total size is even less than the maximum allowed domestic carryon sizes.
You will find your carryon and checked content allowances for luggage got even more shrink while you are flying on a reasonable small plane.
