When you get ready to make your trip it is always a qoute trying to frame out what you are allowed to take on board the flight and what you will need to check. One of your fears is being held over missing your flight because some airline personnel presuppose that you are a person of suspicion. You know that you are not a terrorist a true red, white, and blue American but because of the past events you must be very rigorous what you pack and what you are allowed to take on board or check.
There are now many shop that sell the regulation carry- on luggage that helps you to be able to at least have the right size. This is what you assume when you buy your carry-on bag and it probably does meet the security standards by the airline but will it fit under the seat ahead of you? That is something that you might need to reconsider before you make that buy in choosing your luggage. You need to verify the size of your luggage because some manufacturers indeed miss-measure the bag. It has become a tasteless convention for the manufacturers to measure from inside the luggage giving you the number of size you will have for packing but this does not help when you are trying to get your bag on board the airline.
You find that when you are trying to get your bag on board and you are trying to squeeze it on board past the luggage template by the gate even one inch can cause you to have to check your bag. You need to make sure that you measure the exterior of your luggage before you buy it in order to take it as a carry-on bag. When you do get your luggage underneath the seat you will find that the aisle seat has the least number of space, while the wing seat has a bit more space and the middle seat gives you the most space. It does pay to be in the middle sometimes especially when it comes to bringing a carry on piece of luggage. Many times you think that you will be using an overhead bin in order to store your luggage but do not rely on this as many times the overhead bins are full. The overhead bins do not have sufficient space to hold everyone's luggage that is why it is needful for you to put your bag in the seat ahead of you. Good luck with your luggage remembers it is not always the size that the airline allows that gets your bag on board safely.
