Common questions before you pack
12 source-matched airline rules publish exactly 56 x 36 x 23 cm as a cabin limit, and the same bag fits inside 12 more published rules. The tables list fare, weight, source and match date.
56 x 36 x 23 cm is 22 x 14.2 x 9.1 in. Airlines round conversions differently, so always compare in the unit the airline itself publishes.
Sometimes — limits are checked edge by edge, and rotating the bag can help. Enter your exact measurements in the checker; any edge within 1 cm of a limit should be treated as a gamble at the sizer.
