What size is carry-on luggage anyways?

The truth is it depends on the airline, aircraft, and whether your flying domestic or international. Most domestic airlines specify 22 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches as the maximum size for carry-on luggage.

Keep in mind, there is always a chance you will have to check your carry-on at the gate anyways. The overhead space is compact on smaller planes, or its already filled on a full flight. Which is to say, always have both your carry-on luggage and your personal item labeled properly, and consider including an airtag in your carry-on as well as. your checked. 

For a lot of us, traveling with only carry-on luggage is the only way to go! There's several ways to maximize your carry-on space- like wearing your bulkiest items on the plane and using packing cubes! 

For others, it might be time for a new luggage set all together. Here is a list of the top searched luggage brands, and what makes them great!
