Checked luggage: too big for every overhead bin we track

Bag spec source: shop.samsonite.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.
Samsonite's own product pages list two figures per case in inches: External Dimensions (labeled by Samsonite as including the handles and wheels) and Internal Dimensions (labeled as the case without handles or wheels, i.e. packing dimensions). Both are given as H x L x W on their spec tables; this file reorders each triple to l (longest) / w (middle) / h (shortest) regardless of Samsonite's own axis labels. Live samsonite.com was bot-blocked for most of this compilation session, so many entries were extracted from web.archive.org snapshots of the same official samsonite.com product pages, as noted per entry.
