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 American Airlines?
CabinFit does not treat traveler reports as official policy. A tight dimensional result should be treated cautiously, especially for hard sided bags or packed bags that bulge.
