What size carry-on actually fits in the overhead bin?

Reviewer consensus

Most US domestic airlines cap carry-ons at 22 x 14 x 9 inches including wheels and handles. The 'Bigger Carry-On' size (about 23 inches tall) fits most US overhead bins but is frequently flagged at stricter European and budget carriers. If you fly internationally on low-cost airlines, stay with a true 21-22 inch bag.
