There is a lot of conflicting information out there on the different websites for the dimensions of the suitcases. We wanted swivel wheels as well as the biggest carry-on that the airlines would allow. For each of the carryon suite cases, we examine the size, pockets, webbing, and handle.
Almost all airlines in 2018 state that the maximum carry-on suitcase dimensions are 9" x 14" x 22". Two of these options actually measure larger, but we took them to the airport and tried them in the American Airlines, Allegiant Air, and United Airlines sizer bins to test them out.

@@ashleighortiz406 piece of luggage. That's the joke, presumably
Really appreciate how thorough and informative you are with the dimensions, pros and cons. Thank you for making this video. As a frequent flyer and online shopper- this was awesome!
Thannnnnnnnk u! All these travel luggage reviews only talk about it but NEVER ACTUALLY SHOW IF THEY WORK AT THE AIRPORT!!!!!! Thank u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bought a Delsey 9 years ago. It's been to England, St. Lucia, Mexico, and Antigua, and still does a great job. The thing I like most about it is that it isn't black like all the others.
u went to antigua thats my home country
I have a Blue Travel Pro that I like for the same reason!
I love my Eddie Bauer. It has two wheels, it is hard in the back, soft in the front and has a lifetime warranty. Cobblestones are no problem with this bag. It's been through over 40 flights with me and I have checked it. That's the larger one. I also have a carry on size, exactly the same. Its amazing! They are not sleek looking but they are made of nylon versus polyester which is the real deal when it comes to durability. The compartments are great, handles are nice and comfy, it actually glides along in the airport on two wheels and the front stand which I found fascinating.
Great review ! Love that you actually used the sizing bins at the airport to show how they fit. Going on my first flight ever to Las Vegas shortly and have measured and measured carry on bags worrying that they may be a 1/4 inch to big, but after watching your review I feel better now and less stressed about it.
Hope you have a fantastic trip!
Thanks for the review. Just so people aren't surprised when they travel within Europe, the allowable carry-on is much smaller (check out the 19" bags or under-seat options), so while you can get there on American they will make you check your bag once you begin within Europe. Easy jet and Ryan Air have very strict carry-on rules.
I just noticed my TravelPro is 23 not 22... so glad I saw your video. Your 23 did fit!! ☺😊
👍
I am so glad you went to the airport to try the different pieces of luggage in the sizers. My favorite pieces of luggage are the Travelpro Flightcrew5 which is the same piece of luggage flight crews use and I also like the GeniusPack g3 spinner.
I travel with a Delsey bag. I lucked out because I quickly picked it at the store when my previous one broke while traveling. It turned out to be a great bag and I’ve had it for a few years now and I love it.
Good deal - never like getting stuck making a quick purchase, but sometimes they work out
Delsey bag here 🙋🏽♀️💕, best luggage ever. The fact that it has a little wet compartment I love it even more. No regrets.
Awesome! I just ordered one.
One thing not mentioned is the weight of each case. These days many airlines are very strict with the total weight of your carry on luggage. It would help to make a choice if we knew how much each case weighed.
Best carry-on review ever! Love the lines that highlight the shape and the end where you actually tested them at the airline.
I agree!
I purchased the Travel Pro Max Lite 4. Great review!
Thank you! Seeing you test them was awesome!!
Thank you. Very informative.
Thank you for posting! Very helpful information! Subscribed!
Thank you for the video. Would you do part 2 and see if these carry ones fit on budget/restrictive airlines like Spirit and IcelandAir?
Also: would love your opinion on the G-RO carry on. Thank you!
Thank you! Now a real airport luggage sizer
great vid man. try adding the LOC8ING air travel tag and relax while knowing your checked luggage is on plane with you...
I’ll have to take a look
This is a very good review. The whole size thing is confusing. I have been traveling 15 years with a old Tumi Tech that is 17 inches wide (3 over paper specs) but other wise complies - and I cant ever remember being bin tested - nor not fitting in an overhead (maybe just fit). I just dont see agents bin testing people - unless it looks ridiculous. That said I wanted to be accurate with a new bag and bought the Travelpro Crew Expert Global. It 100% complies with paper specs on size for domestic and most global airlines, and is built like a tank, but man it is a small bag! There is also a "Domestic Max" version of the crew expert that on paper is an inch larger in every dimension than the paper specs.... but says it has been "bin" tested on domestic airlines. Basically what I read is that the domestic bins have about an inch play (larger) over the paper specs of 22x14x9 = 23x15x10.
I have a Travel Pro ( Not sure what model) and the front compartments are organized just like my laptop computer backpack with a thin padded slot for a computer and organizers for small items like notebooks and even pens! It's really great to have that duel function available!

Samsonite Aspire Xlite 👍🏼
I like that it is detailed and I like that he actually checked the size bins!
Thank you for this in depth review. Very helpful!
Thanks! You're welcome!
Needed a video like this. Had tons of problems with my carry on luggage and I am going to finally invest money into a proper one. Thank you for sharing, subscribed for more my friend :)
Thanks - Glad you left a comment here. Checked out your channel ... your videos are crazy amazing! Keep up the great work 👍
thank you my friend, you too. Have a wonderful weekend :)
Cheers - czcams.com/video/93jeZ6PqkCQ/video.htmlm37s
I bought the Samsonite in purple that exact model getting ready to go to Las Vegas so we are flying Southwest hopefully we will have no issues with baggage or sizes. Thanks for the video
SW is actually a little more generous on their carry-on size allowance than the other US majors. Unless it's changed in the past year, they allow 24" height, so you should (have been) fine. (Commenting for new viewers!)
Thank you for making the sound best packing room choice. It can be so confusing but you made it easy and logical.
I really appreciate this guide. I’m a flight attendant and was looking for something affordable with 4 wheels. I just ordered the samsonite bag and i wanted to know would it do well on Delta 700 aircrafts.
Thank you for testing these at the airport. Helpful!
You are welcome - thanks for watching
Thanks man finally a great review I need a carry on u r the best
🙏
A Very helpful explanation of each suitcase. Speaker was clear and concise. Only thing missing was the
Price of each. Thank you very much.
Prices will vary depending on where you buy it. Plus different places will likely offer specials too. I think that was a reason why he didnt mention cost.
Your review skills are awesome. I’d like to see more of your reviews on bags. If you bunches.
Great job ! Subscribed!!
The best carry-on roller bag I found:
Electric California Small Block Roller Bag.
Clam shell design, structured tub on back/handle side of clam shell, with mesh zippered cram-zone cover. The other half is divided 1:2 with each it's own zippered mesh cover. Great wheels, maximum size for its' dimensions & weight. Great customer service too.
great review. like many said, you nailed it when you go thru the sizer with the airline. do not expect you to try every airline, but american airlines do have a more leanant size compare to european or asian airlines, typical size for the other region would be 20" which sometimes suprises american tourist.
Correct!
Very good video, lots of information. I'm looking for a carry-on bag that will pass the smaller size allowance given by SAS and other carriers for international travel. 'd love to see your top selections for those smaller carry-ons.
Great video and yes we’re going with the samsonite. Thanks.
Great choice
Excellent review! Will you be doing a hard shell carry on zipperless review too? Thank you!
Great video, very informative - thank you!!
You’re welcome
I hope you do another review soon of carry on luggage, I am having a hard finding the Samsonite carry on here to purchase. I had already purchased the TravelPro one and am disappointed for the same reasons you mentioned. I prefer your reviews over others.
I have the samsonite and yes it’s 23” when you include the wheels in the overall dimensions. I was not able to bring this onto Iceland Air as a carry on- it’s definitely too big for their size limits and they made me check it. It’s a really nice suitcase though
Great video. Based on all the reviews for Travelpro products I thought that it had to be the best suitcase. Like you though I would rather have it be deeper than to have pockets and to have the bars take up space.
The Samsonite appears to be discontinued :(
Nice review! Personally started with TravelPro decades ago and went through two, both got worn out by use and checking. Went up a tier for Tumi and have not looked back with 3 in the family. Just that much more solid and durable but they did cost quite a bit. My first Tumi is still running, 17 years on. Personal choice.
I keep hearing a lot of good things about Tumi
Isn’t it $1000!
@@Patash7 Not if one catches the very occasional deep discounts, especially there in the US or Costco or eBay.
Thanks for information 🙏👍❤️
Thanks for your reviews. I actually use your video as a set of guidelines to keep in mind when it comes time to purchase a new carry on spinner bag particularly when it comes to dimensions. Based on your reviews and experience, it seems rather difficult to meet the dimensions limit by airlines of 22x14x9 because realistically, luggage manufacturers tend to add a bit beyond these dimensions, especially due to the added height from the wheels and/or top handle. I've physically gone to stores many times with a measuring tape and it is almost impossible to find a carry on that does not "cheat" a little by being slightly bigger (unless one goes for the tiny under-the-seat carry on bag option. No thanks!). However, the extra half inch or so in any given dimension appears to be forgivable and acceptable when inserted into the airlines' sizer bins, as long as the bag isn't packed too much preventing the fabric or hard shell to bend and conform to the metal sizer bin
Yeah - it’s a bit frustrating when trying to purchase one. That is what led to this review.
Wonderful....
Thank you very much.
Great video and suitcases. Very nice. Can you do ones that are international friendly?
questions: if basic economy from united airlines, they dont accept free carry-on suitcase, they will charge? If so then only economy plus or premium economy accept free carry-on suitcase, is thats correct?
Do you prefer a spinner or a regular rollaboard? Right now I have been using the Genius Pack G3 which is a spinner. Considered going with a roll a board. What do you think? Do they have more room?
wondering if you can do Air-transit carry-ons and when they will make you check it in
lot of airlines are quite strict about their 7kg carry on luggage..if the box itself is 2.5kg or more, won't we lose precious space?
Great reviews. I’d also go Samsonite based on this.
Thanks for the review
Are any of your bags left-handed? Meaning the side handle is on the left as you're facing the bag and not on the right?
The 22" / 23" inch thing is so confusing. I don't want to spend a lot of money only to find out we have to check them anyway. Good to know that 23" will work even in the strictest United Airlines test! But I have heard Europe is stricter than here.
Nice that good old trusty Samsonite got your vote. Thanks!
I want a review that will be for the most restrictive airline ie Ryan air. Not only do I need to figure out size issues, weight become very important as well since they now make you weigh your luggage andcnnit needs to be less thsn 10 kilos, and make you pay to take your case well. I love that you try each of your cases in the airlines test luggage cages. then lets get real and discuss price and quality build. We all know that the cases can be a little bit bigger than the size they specify. So trsvel pro maxi light 5 will be a very attractive possiblity.
I stayed away from price since the deals and sales you can find on them make them change all the time
My opinion--if you are only allowed 10 kilos/22lbs and are not checking a bag, then you will have to be a very minimal packer and will need a very basic bag that does not eat up weight with wheels, heavy hardware, etc.
Look for something like a 38L backpack that weighs less than 2lbs. Happy travels.
thank you so much for this video and showing great ideas as well. this helped me so much i am planning a trip to California and Texas so this is great for me and my kids
Both the Delsey and Samsonite actually taper too, not as much but they do. Your video sort of highlighted it.
I think I’m a suitcase hoarder! But I have slightly different requirements than you ... I want 2 wheels. The cobblestones in Europe don’t seem to like spinners. I tried a spinner once ... luckily it was a cruise so I wasn’t carting it around a lot ... but it didn’t like traveling in a straight line, it kept trying to cut in front of me and trip me up! Anyway, I have 3 cases that I use depending on length & purpose of the trip. I love my small (13”?) TravelOn for any trip a week or less. (I love it so much, I have it in 4 colors!). For a little longer trip I have the 18” TravelOn ... it doesn’t hold that much more because it’s very tapered on the top, but it’s good for that little bit extra (souvenirs?). Then, for my 4-6 week trips (there’s this rockstar I “chase” around the world) I have the Euro TravelPro ... 20” and very light, to go with the European weight restrictions. After having my luggage “lost” on one trip, carry on is the safest way to go. And I couldn’t live without packing cubes!
Would you please do a review like this including Air Canada and some hard sided cases? Thank you
It luggage used to have a carry on hard shell suitcase which would expand 50% more room. Any idea if they still make them?
Do you think the away bigger carry on (22.7” x 14.7” x 9.6”) would fit into the United Airline size bin? It is a little wider at 14.7”
What is the durability of the wheels as this is the first thing to go?
Can you do this with the check bags? I got to go on the international study abroad trip and I have never traveled before. I’m have a 24” suitcase the brand is Calvin Klein
When you see the types of carry ons people use these days,you wonder how they get past the check in🤔
TheMarlon57 they often challenge me with my little roll on while totally ignoring people with massive duffel bags or next size up rollers. I was once even told, (while having my correct size roller and not oversized handbag that my Baggallini passport holder which was over my shoulder to keep my hands free) that the passport holder was an additional purse and it had to go. This is something akin to the size of under clothing money belt! It was under my jacket and too much hassle to remove, but they wouldn’t let me pass , I dropped it inside my blouse; end of discussion! But they still ignore some people with gigantic or multiple bags. Very annoying if they don’t apply the rules equally
Agree with the comments. People getting on with a full size suitcase.
I’ll be traveling in September and I’m considering the Taskin Xplorer which is a carryon wheeled backpack. I do like the luggage you reviewed though
Paul, I have the Tumi Tegra-Lite Continental, it is square and has the solid shell with the TSA approved lock. I love this bag, I can fit an entire week's worth of clothes in it and it fits in even the smallest regional airline overhead. I have never had to gate check it, it is built very tough and it rolls like a dream.
You’re the second vote for the Tumi
Craig Netherton do you have a link for this bag?
Love my Tumi!
i have a question... i have a bag that's 23"x15"x9" its on wheels ... i measured from wheels up... would it fit or would it be taken out ... does the check point allow for an extra inch...
its for a 22x14x9 limit...
Would the Travelpro Maxlite 4 22" Expandable Rollaboard Suitcase, Black pass Delta test?
Love my Samsonite!
They are nice
Thank you. This video was pretty helpful to me since I really wanted to know if a 23" tall any luggage would fit.
Can you do a review on the R-Go carry on luggage?
Thank you.
Newbie here watching from PHILIPPINES
This is awesome. Do you think those luggages would be okay for international travel specifically in Europe? We're shopping for new luggage and I have my eye on one but is 22.5 inches high and I don't want to have to check in 4 carryons 😱
International flights will sometimes have tighter restrictions on luggage
@@TheFriendlyReviewer maybe your next review can include international airlines sizers hehehe
Ah ic. It turns out 23 inch is just a nice cabin luggage. Will take note 😍😍
Realizing this video was 3 years ago but can't find the Delsey Air luggage anywhere. Any advise?
Thanks - À chacun son gout I guess, I like the Away smaller carry in because it is non-expandable and forces me to pack lighter. No longer a fan of my old AT canvas bag. But this was a great review overall.
I have been looking at the Away but was considering the larger carry on. Any thoughts on that bag?
very nice video👍
Hey you think a Herschel novel bag will go thru as a carry on bag?
What do you think about the large carryon Away? Or ebags ?
For international travel one should consider weight. Many airlines have weight restriction that are strictly enforced.
Yes - good tip
Based on the onebag sub on Reddit, airlines in Asia typically do weigh carry ons, but in Europe they do it once in awhile, but not often so it's a risk there.
@@JG-wb1ix I’m flying Bangkok to Chiangmai on Thai airways, after arriving in Bangkok on a separate ticket on Singapore airlines From what I’ve read, Thai airlines isn’t as strict as Thai Air Asia, which weighs everything. I have 5 hours at Bangkok airport, so if the excess baggage charges are too high (they should be 60 baht per kilo), I’ll ship the two checked pieces of luggage and make sure that the carry on is no more than 7 kilos by taking things out and stuffing it in pockets on my pants, coats and fishing vest.
It’s incredibly annoying that there is not a standard size for All Airlines. Perhaps one size for discount airlines and one size for the “regular” priced Airlines. Please note; what fits on North American Airlines May NOT fit on European or British Airlines, you should check each Airlines websites to be sure.
I agree
HI, would I be ok with a luggage bag with this size be ok to bring into cabin area .
Size 13inches width 20inches long 7inches front to back
I'm looking at samsonite armage carry on expandable spinner or 2 wheeled version. I'm also looking at travelpro crew versa pack max carryon expandable spinner. And the travelpro crew expert max carryon expandable rollAboard all domestic I'm looking for quality and room inside which do you recommend and why thank you
Any soft sided spinner bag I have ever used tips forward when packed. I put the heaviest items so they sit in the bottom back corner of the bag when it is upright to try to counter balance my tablet that is packed in the front exterior pocket, but this does not work. The front two wheels are basically in the middle of the bag once it's packed fully causing the bag to tip forward. Manufacturers need to figure out way to better balance a PACKED bag.
I hang my backpack on the pack side of bag to counter weight it but not convenient. Any one have a better solution?
Does the samsonite come in a roller board. I find the spinners take up a lot of room
I'm at the airport and the lady infront of me at Starbucks, had a carryon that I could not see the brand, but I dont think is one that you reviewed and I will be looking for it in the stores-....lol!
I was noticing the wheels are kind of on the side of the bag and so it allows for the bottom to be lower!
Its hard to explain but while Im sure it still the 22-23 "legal" inches, with the wheels not taking up all the space at the bottom of the bag.., now the actual bag can be bigger and have more space for stuff!!
Can u customize the wheels on delsey to make it double wheels ??
Has anyone used ifly carry on @20" with wheels & handles @22×14×10? Any issues or passing?
What are the materials used, waterproof and weight?
Hi, My cabin trolly size
52 x 37 x 21cm
20.5 X 14.6 X 8.3 Inch
Can you please tell me if this will be acceptable in Etihad & Emirates as an Economy passenger.
Also do you know what's the Check-in luggage size for Etihad and Emirates.
Wait - I can't even find the Samsonite Aspire X-Lite, even on Samsonite's website. Is it discontinued?
G-Ro luggages are so cool
Can I bring an Under Armor Backpack and put it on the overhead.
why don't you go with a roller if you want maximized space?
I like your shoes . is it PUMA ? where did you buy it ?
Yep Puma, but I don't remember where I bought them at
Costco sometimes sells a $29.99 convertible carry on. The top part is collapsible , to fit under the seat. When expending it, it's a full carry on. I wish its 4 wheels instead of only 2.
Bear in mind this is mostly for US travel, on US airlines. If travelling through overseas destinations (Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand) on connecting flights, there will most likely be weight restrictions as well as size, so always google your flight itinerary for each airline carry on limit - eg, some will have a weight restriction of 7kg (or 15.4 lb), of which you may find your carry on suitcase may be half that, Uh Oh! Also explore travel bags in these cases, which are mostly only around 1kg (or 2.2 lb).
Travelpro max lite 4 can you use it on all Delta aircraft and fit in there over head bin and JetBlue aircraft fit in there over head bin.
