Bag spec source: awaytravel.com · accessed 2026-07-09. Airline limits come from each carrier's official baggage page; open an airline above for its citations. Policies change, so verify a borderline case before you fly.
Away publishes one exterior L x W x H figure per bag in inches, and every hardside and softside product page carries an explicit note that the exterior figure includes the wheels (softside pages add handles too), so these are overall gate-sizer dimensions, not body-only. Away does not publish a separate body-only exterior figure alongside it. Interior dimensions are given separately as usable packing space and are not the same measurement as body-only exterior.
