Dimensions are sorted to allow rotation. A sizer, flexible bulges and aircraft storage can still affect acceptance. Airlines’ published cm and inch limits may be rounded differently; a near-limit bag deserves a direct check.

The five airlines shown are a starting reference set. Delta has no universal numeric personal-item dimensions on the source page, so none are invented here. British Airways is omitted from numeric matching while conflicting personal-item figures on its source page are being resolved.
