How to Measure Linear Baggage DiMen'sions
If you are traveling by air you will find that your airline has specific rules for baggage. Bags must adhere to size restrictions put in place by each individual airline or risk rejection or excess baggage fees. Airlines feature similar size restrictions, though some may vary by a few inches depending on the airline. Your luggage must be smaller than or equal to certain linear dimensions. Call your airline or visit its website to find out the specifics for baggage size before your flight.
