Here Are 5 Stylish Carry Ons That Will Fit In The Cabin Of Every Airline
With the cost of checking luggage soaring and the size of economy cabins shrinking (or feels that way when you’re trying to cram yourself into your seat), the art of packing a carry on is more important than ever. However, since each airline seems to have slightly different requirements for the dimensions of you cabin baggage, it can be a pain trying to figure out which of your bags to pack for the flight.
On most U.S. airlines, your carry on bag needs to be under 45 linear inches in combined length, width and height. While specific carriers have different requirements regarding how those inches are distributed, there are some bags that fit the standards of all major American airlines.
Here are a few fashionable carry on bags that will fit in the overhead compartment of every U.S. airline.
This sleek and modern bag will fit all your essentials and won’t get you in trouble with your airline. Herschel Supply Co. is a trusted name in bags and suitcases (their backpacks are big with the hipster crowd) so you know this fellow will see you through many a layover.
This guy is lightweight and has garnered killer reviews and ratings on Amazon. Coming in at a mere seven pounds (your laptop and charger might weigh more than that), it also has a dent and scratch-resistant exterior as well as 360-degree swivel wheels.
This one's for the budget-conscious traveler. The FÖRENKLA backpack is from IKEA and will run you just about $25 (or $19 if you’re an Ikea Family member). The lightweight, durable and simple design isn’t going to turn heads, but it will ensure you don’t get stopped at the gate. Plus, it’s so cheap that you don’t have to fret about replacing it when it’s worn out or you’re ready for a more expensive option.
