The Hard Truth About Carry-On Sizes in 2024: Don't Get Caught Out at the Gate! (A Lieber's Luggage Guide)
Ah, the carry-on. The traveler's best friend, allowing you to breeze through baggage claim and avoid hefty fees. But here's the thing: carry-on size restrictions can be a real jungle gym, and things can change year to year. Fear not, travel warriors! Lieber's Luggage is here to shed light on the hard truths about carry-on sizes in 2024 and help you avoid any gate-side meltdowns.
Size Matters (More Than You Think):
First things first, there's no single, universal carry-on size across airlines. Every airline has its own set of restrictions, and some even have different allowances depending on your fare class. Here's the typical industry standard:
- Maximum dimensions: 22 inches long x 14 inches wide x 9 inches high (including wheels and handles).
Pro Tip: Bookmark your airline's website and check their baggage allowance page before you pack!
Beyond the Numbers: The "Squeeze Test"
Airlines are serious about size restrictions, and they might have a special carry-on sizer at the gate. Don't risk your favorite travel mug getting confiscated – here's what to consider:
- Overstuffed Bags Beware: Don't try to cram too much into your carry-on. A bulging bag might not fit in the sizer, even if the dimensions seem okay on paper.
- Wheels and Handles Count: Remember, those wheels and handles are included in the size restrictions.Opt for a carry-on with slim, recessed wheels to maximize space.
- Personal Item Blues: Don't forget about your personal item! Many airlines allow a small purse, backpack,or laptop bag in addition to your carry-on. Double-check the size restrictions for this too.
