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 it 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 your 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, some bags 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.

2. L.L. Bean Adventure Rolling Duffle Bag, Medium, 40L

Since 1996, this duffle bag has been one of the most popular travel items from L.L. Bean. Meeting most airline carry-on requirements, this rolling duffle is crafted with strong, recycled fabric, and has enough room for a week-long excursion.
