I don't fly much, so this was all news to me. While booking a trip I noticed first that most airlines now charge for carryon bags, but don't show that cost in their quoted fares.
If that wasn't enough, I noticed also that the carryon bag sizes have been reduced and some airlines really enforce this (here's an article Don't get grounded by new carry-on size limits (http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/columnist/hobica/2014/06/10/carry-on-luggage-bag-size-limits/10246511/) )
So, unfortunately for me my (practically new) carryon is too big. The new maximum dimensions for most airlines are 9.0" x 14.0" x 22.0" and apparently the luggage manufacturers didn't get the memo, since all I can find exceed at least one of those dimensions.
If anyone can provide a pointer to any current (and inexpensive) luggage that meets the 9 x 14 x 22 dimensions as exact as possible I'd sure appreciate it.
