Most airlines' limit is 45 linear inches (length + width + heigth), so you could use a 55 or smaller, although people have gotten away with 60's before. I personally prefer the 45 or 50 because I like to smush them under the seat in front of me.

The 55 is the largest allowable carry-on on most US carrier. I have never been harrassed with my 55 with straps except for 1 time on Air Canada and once they measured it, it was not a problem. :noworry:

Depends on the airlines, i.e. quoted from Continental's website

Continental will permit one bag plus one personal item (see below) per passenger to be carried on the aircraft.
The maximum combined linear measurement (L + W + H) of the carry-on bag is 51 inches (130 cm). The maximum weight of the carry-on bag is 40 pounds (18 kg).

All airlines are different - check their websites to be sure, especially if you are planning to travel out of country.

Wow, Continental is pretty generous ( a 40 lbs. carryon must be filled with bricks! LOL) I took the 45 from American, and Alaska is reallt strict- they make you "ala cart" bigger bags (over 18") on shorter flights. :shocked:

I asked my LV SA and he said 55, and I've had no problem travelling with 55 (altough I've only done it once). I think elux also states that the 55 is the biggest carry-on size, but if you're insecure, go with the 45 or 50. I've discovered that I didn't really need a 55 for my trips (weekend trips - I'm only away a day or two), so I'm saving up for a 45.
