About 4 1/2 years ago I purchased an American Tourister carry-on bag that has now logged about 100,000 miles. It was a "carry-on" bag so I have been arguing with flight attendants for four years that it will fit in the overhead bins.
Sometimes the bin lid closed with a little extra effort. Other times they turned it sideways to get it to work. A few times over the years they have had to gate check it. After my last trip where it was gate checked I did something revolutionary - I measured the bag with a tape measure. To my surprise it was about 24.5 inches not the 22 I supposed it was all this time. I have been telling people for a long time it wasn't my bag's fault and, unfortunately, I was wrong.
After much reasearch with my Uncle Google I decided on the R.E.I. 22 inch roller bag. And to my extreme pleasure it fit today perfectly. I owe a lot of airline people an apology. And I love my new bag.
