Personal item and carry-on are not the same check

Personal items usually fit under the seat. Carry-ons usually go in the overhead bin and may depend on fare bundles, aircraft, boarding group, or paid add-ons.

Measure the packed bag, not the empty shell

CabinFit compares the numbers you enter. It does not assume a soft bag will compress or ignore wheels, handles, or pockets that stick out.

One measurement can match more than one listed order

Airlines and bag brands do not always list dimensions in the same order. CabinFit checks all six orientations before showing a result.
