## Conquer Carry-On Confusion: Underseat Sizing for Major Airlines with Lieber's Luggage
Ah, the joy of packing light! But when it comes to airline regulations, carry-on confusion can quickly turn that joy into frustration. Fear not, travel-savvy friends! Here at Lieber's Luggage, we're all about smooth sailing through security and onto your adventure. Today, we're tackling the underseat mystery – specifically, the underseat dimensions for personal items on some of the most popular airlines in the United States: Spirit, American, Southwest, and Delta.
**Knowing the Drill: Personal Items vs. Carry-Ons**
Before we dive into specifics, a quick reminder: personal items are different from carry-on luggage. Personal items are smaller bags that fit snugly under the seat in front of you, while carry-on luggage goes in the overhead bin. Airlines typically allow one of each per passenger.
