Air Canada or Delta? Which has better Bag Policy?

Air Canada or Delta? Which has better Bag Policy? - Splashing Niagara Falls and yacht sailing on river

I'm between Air Canada and Delta (from San Jose, USA, to Vancouver, Canada)

The only thing that matters here for me, is the Bag Policy.

I have:

  • 1 small luggage (less than 23kg)
  • 1 big luggage (about 23kg)
  • 1 BUBM PC and Monitor Bag (about 23kg)

I only want to have my PC bag as my Carry-On bag (as it contains the PC, Monitor, Laptop, Mic, Webcam, Mouse, and Keyboard)

The other 2 luggage can be as Checked-Bags (though, it would be great if I could have my small luggage as my second carry-on, as it contains lots of important documents)

Now, the questions are:

  1. Which Airline has more space for over the head carry-on? (so that I can put my PC bag there).
  2. Which Airline lets us have 2 carry-on bags? (so that I can have my small luggage next to my pc bag in the over-the-head space)
  3. Am I allowed to have a Laptop Backpack to put under my seat, without an extra charge? (with that in mind that I already have Carry-On bags)

Thanks in advance for your help

Forget it.

The BUBM bag is Size: 54cm x 44cm x 52cm according to Amazon

The carry on restrictions:

  • Air Canada:
    • Carry On: 23 x 40 x 55 cm.
    • Add'l carryon: 16 x 33 x 43 cm
    • 23kg is maximum (without paying overweight) for normal luggage with economy. Number depends on ticket class
  • Delta
    • Checked: 23kg, number depends on ticketing class.
    • Carry On: 56 x 35 x 23 cm

Your PC bag is well above either dimensions. It will likely not be permitted, as it is big enough that a cursory glance at it will reveal that it's to big to fit in the bins.
