How we measured
- Your bag 22 in x 14 in x 9 in vs Sun Country Airlines carry-on max 24 in x 16 in x 11 in (largest side to largest side).
- Longest side: 22 in vs 24 in allowance -> 2 in to spare.
- Middle side: 14 in vs 16 in allowance -> 2 in to spare.
- Shortest side: 9 in vs 11 in allowance -> 2 in to spare.
- Linear total: 45 in vs 51 in limit -> within limit.
- Result: fits as a carry-on on Sun Country Airlines, with room to spare.
- It is over the personal-item max 17 in x 13 in x 9 in, so it does not count as an under-seat item.

Official Contract of Carriage (Rule 205) wording: 'Maximum of one (1) piece of carry-on baggage per fare-paying passenger, which may not exceed any of the following dimensions: 24" long x 16" wide x 11" high (including wheels, handles, and any other protruding items). The weight of a carry-on bag may not exceed 35 pounds.' includesWheelsHandles=true is a DIRECT quote, not an inference. linearIn=51 is DERIVED (24+16+11); Sun Country does not separately publish a linear-inch carry-on limit. isFree=false is a DERIVED reading of the same COC paragraph: 'Ordinarily no fee is charged for a personal item. However, any carry-on bag or personal item that exceeds the applicable above-stated limit will be carried only as checked baggage...' - the COC exempts only the PERSONAL ITEM from fees ('ordinarily no fee ... for a personal item'), and conspicuously does NOT make the same 'ordinarily no fee' statement about the carry-on bag, implying Sun Country's carry-on is a paid item on every fare (consistent with its no-frills fare structure, where checked/carry-on bags and seats are unbundled 'optional services'). This is the airline's own document language, not a third-party claim. No official static or PDF source reachable this session states the specific dollar fee - see GOTCHAS.
Official Contract of Carriage (Rule 205) wording: 'passengers may bring onboard one (1) smaller personal item that must fit under the seat in front of the passenger (i.e., purse, laptop computer, infant bag, etc.). The dimensions of this personal item may not exceed any of the following dimensions: 17" long x 13" wide x 9" high. Ordinarily no fee is charged for a personal item.' No published weight limit.
A full carry-on is allowed on Sun Country Airlines' lowest fare.
Sun Country does not publish named fare tiers (e.g. 'Basic Economy') distinct from its standard fare in the Contract of Carriage baggage rules - baggage/seats are unbundled 'optional services' added a la carte on top of every fare, per Rule 220 ('All transportation of baggage ... is subject to applicable fees as established ... by Sun Country from time to time'). A full carry-on bag (paid) is allowed on every fare; only the personal item is free on every fare. There is no fare level that bars the carry-on outright - it is simply never free (see carryOn.notes).
