Some shopping links on CarryOnSizes are affiliate links. If you make a qualifying purchase through one, we may receive a commission from the retailer. You do not pay a separate fee to CarryOnSizes for using the link.
As an Amazon Associate, CarryOnSizes earns from qualifying purchases. Other links may lead directly to a manufacturer or an official information page. A link to a product does not always mean we earn a commission.
Where the disclosure belongs
Buying guides include a commission disclosure near their shopping content. This page explains the relationship in more detail, but readers should not need to find it to understand a commercial link. We use plain language rather than assuming everyone knows what an affiliate is.
Retailers and their tracking providers determine whether a purchase qualifies. Their own terms, cookie settings and attribution periods can affect that decision. See our privacy policy for information about external links and tracking.
How we choose and describe bags
A bag needs to suit a particular use case before a shopping link is useful. We compare external dimensions, empty weight, organization and relevant airline limits. We also explain drawbacks, uncertain specifications and situations where a recommended bag would be a poor fit.
We distinguish research from hands-on testing. Unless a guide describes a documented test, its recommendations rely on specifications and available feedback. An affiliate link does not mean we personally used the product, and an editorial illustration does not show a tested sample.
Our editorial policy explains how sources and claims are checked. A product’s commercial availability does not establish that it is allowed by your airline. Measure your actual packed bag against your booking’s allowance.
What to check before you buy
Compare the linked listing with the exact model described in the guide. Sizes, model generations, colors and bundles can share a product name while having different specifications. Confirm that external measurements include wheels, handles and other protrusions.
Check the current price, shipping charges, seller, return conditions and applicable warranty at the retailer. Prices and stock can change after an article is checked. A manufacturer warranty may also differ from a retailer’s return policy or accidental damage coverage.
The retailer handles the sale, payment, delivery and returns. We cannot access or change an order through an affiliate link. For an order problem, contact the seller using your purchase confirmation.
Questions or incorrect links
If a shopping link opens the wrong model or a guide describes an outdated specification, let us know. Send the page URL and the model difference. Please leave order numbers, payment information and account credentials out of your message.
