So, what's the magic number when it comes to carry on size? Well, most airlines have a standard size limit of 22" x 14" x 9", but some are a little more generous. Just remember, if your bag is too big, you'll have to check it - and who wants to do that?
But size isn't the only thing to consider - weight is also a factor. Some airlines have weight limits for carry on bags, while others don't. And then there's the issue of wheelie bags - are they allowed or not? It's all a bit confusing, if you ask me!
