Your packed bag

How should I measure the bag?

Measure the packed outside dimensions, not the empty fabric shell. Include wheels, fixed handles, feet, hard corners, protruding pockets, and any bulge from packing.

Measure the three longest outside directions. SizeDial can rotate the dimensions when comparing them with the airline limit, but airline enforcement can still vary by aircraft, fare, partner carrier, airport, and gate.

The short version

Airline carry-on rules are dimensions, not a universal suitcase size.

American, Delta, JetBlue, and Alaska currently publish a 22 × 14 × 9 inch carry-on limit. Southwest publishes a larger 24 × 16 × 10 inch limit. Your itinerary, aircraft, fare, and partner airline can still matter.

Measure wheels and handles

Published airline limits generally apply to the outside of the bag, not just the fabric shell. Measure wheels, handles, and protruding pockets.

Personal items are less standardized

Some airlines publish numeric personal-item dimensions while others simply require the item to fit under the seat. The checker includes published numeric presets where available and otherwise asks you to enter the airline's stated limit.

Carry-on sizing FAQ

Does a bag exactly at the limit always get onboard?

No. Aircraft storage, fare restrictions, regional aircraft, gate decisions, and partner-airline rules can still affect what happens. The checker answers the dimensional question, not every baggage-policy question.

Should I measure an expandable bag expanded?

Yes, if you plan to travel with it expanded. Measure the packed configuration that will actually reach the airport.
