Conditions to know

  • No fixed personal-item dimensions were found, so the Bag Finder cannot confirm underseat fits for Delta.
  • Some Asian routes enforce a weight limit on carry-ons; check your route.
  • Most airlines measure the whole bag including wheels, handles and pockets, so use packed dimensions.

Check before you fly

Use the allowance shown in your booking as the final word, especially for basic or promotional fares. Recheck the packed bag, including wheels, handles and full pockets.
