[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here:

Per Air Canada, they limit it to these (ridiculously small) dimensions:

21.5 x 15.5 x 9 inches

Only my kid’s child size roller bag (just barely) meets the requirements. 
 
WTH?

We might just check our luggage and risk it rather than buy all new carryons.

Our Samsonite and Travel Pros are an inch or two bigger. [/quote]

Why not bring everyone a backpack as well as your child's carryon on the plane. Put a couple days of clothes for each person plus personal grooming items in those. Have one checked bag of overflow stuff that won't fit in the carryons. This is what I would do and probably will do when we go to England/France next year. You can get an airtag for the checked bag if you are worried. But it will mostly likely be fine. [/quote]

Everyone already planned to bring a backpack and a roller bag carryon, but Air Canada basically just allows an abnormally small roller bag and a purse. So I guess we will just bring backpacks and then check our usual big luggage. Now I’m worried they’ll consider our  XL LL Bean rolling duffel bags as oversized.

We never have these issues flying on American Airlines or United—even when flying out of the country.

Just out of curiosity, how tall is everyone’s roller bag carry on? I guarantee it’s bigger than 21.5 and it’s never an issue flying a mainstream American airline. [/quote]
