Carry-On Luggage Size Rules

Carry-On Baggage Policies

With the rise in checked baggage fees, travelers are choosing to carry on luggage instead. In turn, airlines are becoming more stern with carry-on luggage size rules. Some airlines are making travelers pay for carry on luggage or having bags gate-checked due to the amount of people opting to avoid checking bags, which defeats the purpose of carrying on your luggage.

Ship Luggage Instead

Of course, it is just not always possible to fit everything into a carry-on bag. Instead of carrying on or checking your bag, ship your luggage for the ultimate convenience.
