Will a standard carry-on fit Rex Airlines?
The most common US carry-on size is 22 × 14 × 9 in (56 × 36 × 23 cm, wheels included). On Rex Airlines it does not fit — 7.9 cm (3.1 in) too long, 1.6 cm (0.6 in) too wide; 9.3 cm over the 105 cm total. The common European cabin size, 55 × 40 × 20 cm, doesn't fit (7 cm (2.8 in) too long, 6 cm (2.4 in) too wide; 10 cm over the 105 cm total).
Rex Airlines' cabin bag allowance holds about 38 litres. Only 3 of the 151 airlines we track have a smaller one, so bags sold as "carry-on size" in the US often won't pass here.
