Will a standard carry-on fit Caribbean Airlines?
The most common US carry-on size is 22 × 14 × 9 in (56 × 36 × 23 cm, wheels included). On Caribbean Airlines it does not fit — 0.6 cm (0.2 in) too wide. The common European cabin size, 55 × 40 × 20 cm, doesn't fit (5 cm (2 in) too wide).
Caribbean Airlines' carry-on allowance holds about 45 litres. Only 25 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.
