True, but I'm also afraid they will make me check my bag if it's an inch over on one side.
Keep looking at Winners for a while (and different Winners stores) because they often have new items and you will eventually find one that is fully compliant for size. We have one that just fits and then a smaller one that gives up some space.Gigi wrote: ↑ I'm having a hard time finding a suitable roller carry on for Westjet (21x15x9) that will just fit the sizer (need to maximize volume) . Most descriptions that say 21" apparently don't include the handle, wheels, etc. I've been checking at Winners, Costco, MEC, etc. The Bay seems to be overpriced even on sale.
That's what I've heard and am trying to avoid if possible.Pete_Coach wrote: ↑WestJet s actually getting strict with their carry ons. I have seen in Halifax, Ottawa and Vancouver where people were told the bag cannot be carry on and they have to check it in.
Which bag do you have that just fits? I'm hoping I can just bring my "not filled to the brim" backpack as a "personal item".Dealmaker1945 wrote: ↑ Keep looking at Winners for a while (and different Winners stores) because they often have new items and you will eventually find one that is fully compliant for size.

It is even harder to find a bag in the "personal item" size that will come in exactly at the WJ and AC specified sizes, especially in mens' styles. You want to max out there too.
Avoid soft sided cases since if you overpack it and it bulges out enough that it won't fit in the size-wise cage, you'll be forced to check it. Get a hard-sided case so that you won't run into this. If you can close it, it will be the advertised measurement.
