!: Buy Carry on Luggage - Best Size Picks

[if ]

[endif]

The size of carry on luggage is not the first concern in purchase, but buyers can not totally ignore the luggage size when passing the security doors. Don't be surprised to know the number of travelers who have their carryons checked simply because their luggage can not shrink to fit the "test cage". What's the safe carry-on size that meets all airlines? The bottom line is 22" as the maximum. However, the most generous airline allows 24" as the maximum. But don't buy a bag exactly same to the "test cage", because it may refuses to fit. And, buy the RIGHT size to meet you needs. The larger, the better? Not really.
