Is it time to update the underseat carry on you've been using for business or vacation travel? Many travelers want to know what size of underseat luggage to buy. Every airline will have slightly varying measurements for underseat bag requirements. This is because each airplane model can have slightly different seat dimensions. Check with your favorite airline to confirm what dimensions need to be met for underseat luggage carry ons. Typically, a bag that is 18x18x4 inches overall will fit nicely under the seat. To get the most from the luggage you want to buy, look for a soft-sided bag that has no frame inside it. Soft bags are made with nylon or canvas and without ridged edges. Fabric materials are pliable and can be easily pushed and molded to fit under the seat in front of you.
Luggage sets will often have a piece identified as a carry-on bag included as part of the collection. Remember, the overhead bin dimensions will be a larger size than the space under a seat, so storing this type of bag above you may work better. Don't forget that airlines are very happy to check bags after you've boarded. If your carry-on luggage doesn't meet the specifications for under the seat and there's no room overhead, they can tag it and hand it off to a loader or handler who will stow it away in the plane's cargo area. Always ask for clarification on where to retrieve this type of stowed luggage. Samsonite® makes sturdy carry-on options for travelers. Their soft-sided backpacks, duffel bags, and technology bags are ideal for placing under the seat in front of you.
Do you want to know the secret of how to pack your underseat bag? If you're unsure whether your bag will slide under the seat, there's a way to pack that should remove any concern. This packing trick will only work for bags that are an inch or so oversized and made of pliable material. Simply pack less so the bag has extra room inside. This allows the bag to deflate a bit and makes it easier to push it into place. Underseat luggage with wheels may also benefit from this trick as long as the overall construction is not too rigid.
