So, why is carry-on size such a big deal? For starters, if your bag is too big, you might have to gate check it, which means you'll have to wait for it at the baggage claim when you arrive. And who wants to wait around for their luggage when they could be exploring their destination?
But don't worry, American Eagle's carry-on size policy is actually pretty reasonable. They allow bags that are up to 22" x 14" x 9" in size, which is plenty of room for your essentials. And if you're unsure whether your bag fits, you can always check with the friendly folks at American Eagle to be sure.
Pro tip: if you're planning to bring a lot of extras like a hair dryer, straightening iron, or other bulky items, you might want to consider checking a bag instead. But if you're a light packer, you should be good to go with just a carry-on.
Now, you might be wondering, what's the best way to make the most of your carry-on space? Well, we've got a few secrets to share: first, use packing cubes to keep your clothes and other items organized. Second, wear your bulkiest items (like your coat and boots) on the plane to save space in your bag. And third, use every available nook and cranny in your bag to fit in all your essentials.
