February 8, 2017: All the US carriers are looking at new size restrictions — or just a better job of enforcing current guidelines — for carry-on bags that go into overhead bins. A recent study by Consumer Reports says that bag manufacturers are a big part of the problem. It seems their recent study of carry-on advertised sizes — on Amazon and Ebags — says 9 out of 11 bags where actually much larger than advertised. And some of the discount carriers — like Spirit — are reducing the sizes of bags they’ll let you bring on. Bag buyers and travelers beware!!!
