Guides
Three long reads: what fits in the cabin, what the construction changes, and how to pack. Every rule quoted here is read at the source and dated.
Carry-on size rules, and what actually fits inside 22 by 14 by 9
The cabin numbers airlines publish, the numbers a case really measures, and how much of a week fits in twenty inches.
Hard shell or soft side: what the choice actually changes
Polycarbonate against fabric, wheels against weight, and what an airline owes you when the case comes back broken.
Packing a case so it arrives the way it left
Rolling against folding, where the weight goes, what the law says about batteries, and the twenty minutes that decide whether anything is creased.
