The TSA says that your carry-on bag should fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. Easy peasy, right? But, if you're like me, you're probably wondering what that means in terms of actual size. Well, the standard carry-on size is around 22 inches tall, 14 inches wide, and 9 inches deep - think of a small backpack or a large purse.
Now, you might be thinking, "Okay, got it, but what about all the different airlines?" Don't worry, they all follow the same basic guidelines, but some might have slightly different size restrictions. It's always a good idea to check with your airline before your trip, just to be sure. And, trust me, it's better to be safe than sorry - you don't want to get to the gate and find out your bag is too big!
So, why is it so important to follow these size restrictions? Well, think about it like a game of Tetris - all the luggage has to fit together perfectly in the overhead bins. If one piece is too big, it can throw off the whole system. And, let's be real, who wants to be that person who delays the flight because their bag won't fit? Not me, that's for sure!
