There are different requirements for each airline regarding the size of your carry-on baggage.
Remember that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has size restrictions on carry-on baggage while packing a suitcase and going to the airport.
After all, not all airlines provide complimentary full-size carry-on luggage, and the size restrictions on those bags vary from one airline to the next. By arriving at the airport prepared, you may save a costly baggage fee as well as aggravation.
You need to know about carry-on size restrictions for airlines and the TSA.
Size limits on carry-on baggage that apply only to flights
A carry-on bag may vary in size from a large backpack to a small suitcase with wheels, depending on the airline. The size of your carry-on luggage is more significant than the shape, which is why the following are the regulations for carry-on baggage size for the major domestic carriers:
The airline Alaska operates is called Alaska Airlines.
On Alaska Airlines flights, carry-on bags and personal items are provided at no additional cost.
There is a maximum size limitation of 22″ long by 14″ wide by 9″ high for carry-on luggage, which includes the wheels and handles. The distance between the three measurements should not be more than 45 inches in total.
When it comes to personal goods, Alaska recommends that you always have a handbag, laptop, or briefcase with you.
According to Alaska Airlines, passengers should easily lift items that fit in overhead bins.
Flights with American Airlines
Travelers traveling with American Airlines are only permitted to bring one personal item and one carry-on bag with them, regardless of the kind of ticket they buy (elite members included).
If at all feasible, carry-on baggage should not exceed the following dimensions: 22 inches in length, 14 inches in breadth, and 9 inches in height, including handles and wheels.
Personal items should not be more than 18 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 8 inches in height in total.
There are no restrictions on the weight of carry-on luggage.
Flying the flag of the United States airline Delta
The maximum dimensions, which include the wheels and handles, are 22 inches long, 14 inches broad, and 9 inches high at their maximum. It is prohibited for baggage to have a total length or width of more than 45 linear inches (length, breadth, and height).
For personal things, Delta suggests a purse, a laptop bag, and a small backpack, to name a few examples of the many sizes available.
China’s capital Beijing (10 kg, or around 22 pounds), Shanghai (7 kg), and Singapore (15.4 pounds) are the three cities where there are weight limitations (10 kg, or about 22 pounds).
Frontier
Frontier Airlines charges a fee for both checked and carry-on luggage, and the amount charged varies depending on the itinerary. The price of your baggage will vary depending on whether you buy it in advance online or via a mobile app, at the ticket counter, or at the boarding gate.
There are no weight restrictions on passenger baggage; however, the maximum depth, breadth, and height are all restricted to no more than 10 inches, 16 inches, and 24 inches, respectively.
Your personal belongings must be no deeper than 8 inches, no wider than 18 inches, and no taller than 14 inches in order to fit under the seat in front of you.
JetBlue
The carry-on limits for JetBlue passengers are not the same for every flight or flight class. Basic Blue shareholders are permitted to bring one personal item on board with them (except Mosaic customers, who always get a carry-on). For Blue, Extra Blue, Blue Plus, and Mint tickets, there is a limit of one carry-on bag and one personal item per passenger.
The maximum dimensions, which include wheels and handles, are 22 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 9 inches high at their highest points.
Bringing a bag is permitted, but the bag’s dimensions must not exceed 17 inches in length, 13 inches in width, and 9 inches in height so that it may fit in the area under your seat.
JetBlue does not place any limitations on the amount of weight that travelers may bring on board in their carry-on luggage while traveling on the airline.
Southwest Airlines
Travelers on Southwest Airlines are subject to the same carry-on limits as those on the majority of other airlines: one personal item and one carry-on item per customer on each flight.
According to the airline, the maximum allowable carry-on dimensions are 24 inches in length, 16 inches in breadth, and 10 inches in height, with a maximum weight of 30 pounds.
Items cannot be longer than 18.5 inches in length, broader than 8.5 inches in breadth, or higher than 13.5 inches in height when they are checked in at the airport.

The maximum carry-on dimensions, including the handles and wheels, are 22 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 9 inches high, with the handles and wheels included.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) carry-on limitations and dimensions
Prior to your departure, you will be subjected to a security inspection by the Transportation Security Administration. The result is that you must stick to the liquid limitations for carry-on bags in order to be allowed past security checkpoints (and other requirements).
Flammables
It is only permissible to bring cigars, cigarettes, disposable Zippo lighters, and dry batteries on board with you in your carry-on baggage (like AAs or AAAs).
Sporting goods and camping gear
If you adhere to certain guidelines, you may bring an inflatable mattress with a built-in pump, antler horns, basketballs, footballs, baseballs, soccer balls, bike chains, and bicycle pumps.
