Most airlines have a standard carryon size in mind, which is usually around 22 inches tall, 14 inches wide, and 9 inches deep. But, let's be real, who doesn't love a good game of carryon Tetris, trying to squeeze that extra pair of shoes into an already-stuffed bag? It's like a fun little challenge to start your trip off right!
Now, you might be thinking, why is carryon size even a thing? Well, it's all about safety and convenience, folks! Airlines want to make sure that everyone's carryon bags fit neatly in the overhead bins, so they can get you to your destination in one piece (and with all your belongings intact). Plus, who wants to deal with a bunch of overstuffed bags getting in the way of a smooth boarding process?
But, here's the thing: carryon sizes can vary depending on the airline and even the type of plane you're flying on. So, it's always a good idea to check with your airline before your trip to make sure you've got the right size bag. And, trust us, you don't want to be that guy who shows up to the gate with a bag that's way too big (or too small)!
