When an airline puts out size restrictions in addition to the LxWxH of a bag they also do 'linear size' of a bag. <BR/><BR/>While at JFK Airport a week ago I departed from Terminal 4,which primarily handles international airlines. I walked around and placed the Correspondent in a number of baggage templates (I had to ask two airlines to see if they had them) and it fit in each and every template. These airlines included Aer Lingus, KLM, Air Jamaica Air India and Emirates. I know from experience with the bag that it is legal on KLM, Asian and Air China (and technically Air China's carry on restriction is 7x15x21).<BR/><BR/>If you carefully look at the numbers, they are all pretty much the same, but the proportions are moved from one side to another. An example if this is Lufthansa being 8x16x22 while KLM is 10x14x22. The linear dimensions of the bags are identical. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The following are the dimensions of the Mountainsmith Correspondent 8.5'' x 14.5'' x 21''<BR/><BR/><BR/>NORTH AMERICA<BR/>United Airlines (UA) 9L x 14W x 22H<BR/>US Airways (US) 11L x14W x 26H<BR/>**US Airways Express (USX) 11L x 15W x 19H<BR/>Delta Airlines (DL) 9L x 14W x 22H<BR/>American Airlines (AA) 9L x 14W x 22H<BR/>JetBlue (B6) 10L x 16W x 24H<BR/>**JetBlue (B6) "Personal Item" 8L x 15W x 18H<BR/>Southwest Airlines (WN) 10L x 16W x 24H<BR/>Continental Airlines (CO) 11L x 14W x 26H<BR/>Air Canada (AC) 9L x 15.5W x 21.5H<BR/>**Air Canada (AC) "Personal Item" 6L x 13W x 17H<BR/>WestJet (M3) 9L x 15.5W x 21.5H<BR/><BR/>UNITED KINGDOM<BR/>British Airways (BA) 8L x 16W x 22H<BR/>**BA Connect (TH) 10L x 18W x 22H<BR/>**BA Connect (TH) "Personal Item" 6L x 13W x 17H<BR/>Virgin Atlantic (VS) 9L x 14W x 22H<BR/>BMI (BD) 9L x17W x 22H<BR/>BMI Baby (WW) 7.5L x 15W x 21H (*WW has NO weight limit!**)<BR/>Ryanair (FR) 7.5L x 15W x 21H<BR/>EasyJet (EZ) 7.5L x 15W x 21H<BR/><BR/>EUROPE<BR/>Lufthansa (LH) 8L x 16W 22H<BR/>KLM (KL) 10L x 14W x 22H<BR/>Air France (AF) 9L x 15W x 22H<BR/>Alitalia (AZ) 10L x 14W x 18H<BR/>Scandinavian Airlines / SAS (SK) 9L x 18W x 22H<BR/>SWISS (LX) 7.8L x 15.7W x 21.6H<BR/><BR/>ASIA / PACIFIC<BR/>Japan Airlines / JAL (JL) 9L x 14W x 22H<BR/>JALWays (JO) 8L x 14W x 18H<BR/>All Nippon Airways / ANA (NH) 10L x 12W x 19H<BR/>Asiana (OZ) 9L x 14W x 22H<BR/>Korean Air (KE) 9L x 14W x 22H<BR/>Air New Zealand (NZ) 10L x 12W x 21H<BR/>Qantas (QF) 10L x 13W x 22H<BR/>Virgin Blue (DJ) 9L x 13W x 18Hflyingfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11916846751892643652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4631269115395079689.post-407220484727968182008-07-01T04:52:00.000-07:002008-07-01T04:52:00.000-07:00The Mountainsmith Correspondent bag looks nice, bu...The Mountainsmith Correspondent bag looks nice, but it's also quite a bit larger than the maximum allowable dimensions for carry-ons put forth by many non-US airlines.Roland Dobbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517186494484977438noreply@blogger.com
