Vera Bradley large duffel as carry on

[lovin'fl]

Anyone ever have issues? Specifically American Air?

As long as it fits within the specified dimensions (check their website for carry on dimensions), you should be fine. Depending on size and airline policies, it might even count as your personal item instead.

Well...it's 22X11X11 and the airline says 22X14X9

Since it's soft sided I think there's a little more leeway. Assuming it's not stuffed solid. If you needed to put it in their little measurement box it would fit.

I have a Vera bag that is too big by measurement; on my last SW flight there was someone with that bag. I was so annoyed that I didn't bring it!

this is good to know. i bought myself and the kids new vera duffels for Christmas for a steal......then i saw the carry-on guidelines. Here's hoping if we don't overstuff they will be ok.

My 2 DDs are trying it today. I am sure they stuffed them too...I told them not to. They are flying from college to go to Disney with us. I will let you know how it goes. Will post back tonight....

I use mine all of the time but it's on SW

Was a smaller plane and they had trouble shoving the duffels in the overhead bins but got them in. No problem carrying them on.

Keep in mind that with something like this what happens on someone else's flight may not be what happens on your flight. Boarding position (how much room is in that overhead!), different gate agents and flight attendants could impact on if the bag fits or is allowed.

At the very least pack that bag as if it may be gate checked. Keep anything important like meds and electronics out of it.

it will just fit in, wife has 1. Don't come close to fill it full otherwise you will have to force it in sideways and I mean force it in

I use the same bag on every flight. Never had a problem with it. It fits under the seat in front of me.
