Fare type notes
Some airlines include only a smaller underseat item with basic fares. Larger cabin bags can require a paid bundle, priority service, or eligible ticket.
How strict is Delta Air Lines?
Delta Air Lines publishes 55 x 35 x 22 cm for the cabin bag, and at the gate the sizer frame decides — not your tape measure. Enforcement varies by airport and crew, but a bag within 1 cm of any limit is always a gamble. Hard shells can't squeeze and soft bags bulge once packed — leave yourself a margin.

Underseat item
Delta Air Lines publishes Check fare conditions as the physical personal item limit; it has to fit under the seat in front of you. This describes size and storage only, not ticket entitlement. The weight allowance changes with fare type, so check your ticket.
dimensions
Overhead cabin bag
Delta Air Lines publishes 55 x 35 x 22 cm as the physical carry-on limit; it goes in the overhead bin. This describes size and storage only, not ticket entitlement. Delta Air Lines does not publish a weight limit for this bag — the size frame is what gets enforced.

Airline context
Delta Air Lines is a full-service carrier based in United States. Full-service carriers typically include both a cabin bag and a personal item, but weight gets checked more often than size — keep an eye on the kilo limit as well as the frame.
