Travel selector
Airline carry-on size checker
Travelers checking a bag against a published US major-airline sizer. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: see whether measured height, width, and depth fit united’s published 22 × 14 × 9 inch carry-on box. Linear inches and personal-item rules are the decision. Brand reputation is not a dimension check.
Sorts the three sides and compares them to a sourced published limit, with checks for handles, fare class, and gate-check risk. The selector does not rank Away, Travelpro, and Briggs & Riley. It produces an explainable class so Away The Bigger Carry-On, Travelpro Platinum Elite Compact Carry-On, and Briggs & Riley Baseline Essential 22-inch can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Sort the three measured sides descending and compare them to United’s published 22 × 14 × 9 inch carry-on box, including wheels and handles. Planning notes are grounded in United Airlines. Other airlines, regional aircraft, and Basic Economy rules can be stricter.
