How we measured
- Your bag 22 in x 14 in x 9 in vs Alaska Airlines carry-on max 22 in x 14 in x 9 in (largest side to largest side).
- Longest side: 22 in vs 22 in allowance -> 0 in to spare.
- Middle side: 14 in vs 14 in allowance -> 0 in to spare.
- Shortest side: 9 in vs 9 in allowance -> 0 in to spare.
- Linear total: 45 in vs 45 in limit -> within limit.
- Result: within the limit, but only 0 in clearance on the tightest side. It should pass the sizer, but a full bin could get it gate-checked.

Official wording: 'One piece of carry-on sized luggage (maximum dimension 22" x 14" x 9" or 45 linear inches, including wheels and handle) will be allowed free of charge.' No published carry-on weight limit, but guests must be able to lift their own bag into the overhead bin. VERIFIED GOTCHA: unlike United/American Basic Economy, Alaska's Saver fare still includes a full free carry-on bag (not personal-item-only) - confirmed explicitly via Alaska's Saver fare page, not assumed.
Alaska allows one personal item (e.g. purse, briefcase, laptop bag) that must be stowed under the seat in front of you, in addition to the carry-on, but publishes NO official dimensions or weight for the personal item specifically - only general guidance that both items together must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat. Any personal-item dimensions circulating online are community estimates, not official.
A full carry-on is allowed on Alaska Airlines' lowest fare.
Alaska's lowest fare is 'Saver.' Unlike many competitors' basic economy, Saver still includes 1 free carry-on + 1 free personal item, and checked bags pay the same standard $45/$55 fees as any other fare (no special surcharge or exclusion). Saver's real restrictions are non-baggage: seats are assigned at check-in (no advance seat selection), and the fare is non-changeable/non-cancelable except for a 50% credit if canceled at least 14 days before departure.
