Hereof, how do you measure a 9x10x17 bag?
"Linear inches" simply means the sum total of your bag's length, width and height. So if your airline allows carry-on bags that measure up to 45 linear inches, and your bag measures 20 inches by 10 inches by 9 inches, its measurement in linear inches is 20 + 10 + 9 = 39 inches, so it would be allowed.
Also, how do you measure the volume of a bag? If you are trying to measure the volume of a bag at home, the simplest way to do it is to multiply out the dimensions that you gathered in the “Measuring Dimensions” section above and then multiply the length by the width by the height of the bag to get a rough estimate of its volume.
Likewise, people ask, what is the length of a bag?
Length. Length is calculated by measuring the base at its widest points, regardless of any tapering in size elsewhere in the bag.
Do airlines really measure luggage?
In most cases, airlines do not ever actually measure luggage carried or checked by a passenger. They usually have a rigid (often metal) sizer in the check-in area, at the boarding gate, and sometimes elsewhere. Airlines sometimes do not enforce their size limits. Airlines generally have weight limits as well.
