Airport International on the Planes and in FramesDuring the product testing process, we test our products on flights around the world, taking pictures to share. We believe that seeing is believing! |

Putting the roller straight into the overheadOn the majority of planes this roller fits easily straight in, which is the preferred storage method. Remember to have the wheels facing out. The lids are curved and actually curve around the roller when closed. |

Putting the roller in sideways in the overhead.Some planes have smaller overhead compartments, forcing passengers to put their rollers in sideways. Again, it will easily fit in the overhead compartment. |

Putting the roller under the seat in front of you.If for some reason there is no space left in the overhead compartment, it will fit under the seat in front of you, as this photo shows. |

Air Canada Test FrameThe critical dimension for international travel is the 8” width dimension. As you can see in the photo, there is room to spare. |

British Airways Test FrameFor some reason on this frame the 8” dimension is very accurate. If your roller is over 8” deep, most likely it will not fit this frame. Otherwise, there is extra space around the roller. |

KLM Test FramThis frame tests for size and weight at the same time. Notice that when the bag is weighed, it is supposed to be no higher than the RED LINE seen above the bag. |

Korea Air Test FrameMany of the frames are actually larger than the airlines stated carry on size. This is a good example. |

|
America West Test FrameThis is a good illustration of the difference between U.S. air carrier frames and international carrier frames. Most U.S. airlines use the 9" x 14" x 22” measurement for the bag only, EXCLUDING the extra length of the wheels and the feet. If you look at the red lines on this frame, they give even extra space. |
