[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most airline carry-on measurements are 22x14x9.
I'm looking for a new carry-on that will hold as much as possible. I fly mostly Delta and Southwest (which allows slightly larger carry-on dimensions).
I see a lot of luggage advertised as carry-on compliant, but the measurements are larger than above. For example, I am wondering if this luggage would be acceptable: https://www.delsey.com/us/en/p/cruise-3.0-exp.-spinner-c%2Fo-402879805.html

No. Every measurement is larger than the allowance.

Why are all these bags marketed as carryons and then made slightly larger than is permissible?[/quote]

In my experience this size suitcase will fit in an overhead bin on a regular jet (737, A320, etc), but of course not in one of those regional jets where you have to gate check most rollaboards.  Most US airlines won't bat an eye at this size suitcase being brought on board a plane.  Overseas they tend to be stricter, and are more likely to put the suitcase in a sizer and make you check it.  I would be fine with assuming you could carry this on most US airlines, but not in Europe or Asia.[/quote]

I should have mentioned that this would be for domestic travel only.[/quote]

You should be fine then. Put it in the bin with the wheels facing out and it will very likely fit.[/quote]
