Question 1

What are the inside dimensions of the 30" bag? hxdxw and is it one compartment inside?

Accepted Answer

The bag has two compartments, but it’s has the ability to be one. The layer in between is a mesh compartment that separates the top and bottom half.  The bottom half is around 28” long and about 14” wide. The lower compartment is about 5”deep before the upper compartment which is another 6” or so. All in all there is a lot of room in it more than most suitcases the same size.

Question 2

Is the 35" version too big to be considered "standard luggage" with an airline?

Accepted Answer

This bag is NOT 62"!  It is 34.5" to 35" long (not including the handle), by 16" by 14".  That is at least 2.5" over the 62" limit for many flights, which is what I purchased it for.

As mentioned in other answers, many domestic airport personnel will ignore small size overages.  HOWEVER, when you return, the international airports are much stricter, and you might be subject to massive oversize fees.

I am NOT happy.

Question 3

If the most common maximum size checked bag allowed is 62 linear (total) inches, why does the mid sized bag have a 63.5 inches?

Accepted Answer

The linear inches is ignored commonly by airline ticket counter reps as they focus on the total weight. Of course there's a limit to large sized bags but agents check 36 inch bags all the time as long as they do not exceed 50 lbs...this 37 inch bag at 50lbs or less should be no problem but likely will not be full at 50lbs so actual size is less...I'm in the industry and know a lot of airline reps...they are focused on weight far more than size...

Question 4

Does it qualify as a carry on for the airlines. Will it fit in thw overhead

Accepted Answer

This bag is way too big to fit as a carry on.
