Carry on baggage allowance - Confused about these sizes
I got the following information from the respective websites about each airlines carry on baggage allowance:
Emirates 7KG 55x38x20cm
Turkish 8KG 55x40x23cm
Copa 10KG 56x26x36cm
Bahamas 13.6KG 22″ x 14″ x 9″
My question is, in the above 4, what is the order of length width height? Based on all 4 above, What is the maximum allowed common carry on baggage size?
Best Answer
What you have to do is picture a box. In the case of Emirates the box is 55x38x20 cm. If your luggage fits in the box it can travel with you in the cabin.

What size luggage counts as carry-on?
Your carry-on bag should fit in the overhead bin. The maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 centimeters x 35 centimeters x 56 centimeters). This includes handles and wheels.How do I know if my carry-on bag will fit?
Consider Linear Inches So if your airline allows carry-on bags that measure up to 45 linear inches, and your bag measures 20 inches by 10 inches by 9 inches, its measurement in linear inches is 20 + 10 + 9 = 39 inches, so it would be allowed.Did the size of carry-on luggage change?
In 2015, the International Air Transport Association issued guidelines that set the ideal carry-on size at 21.5 x 13.5 x 7.5 inches. Most major U.S. airlines followed these guidelines. Onboard American, Delta, JetBlue, and United, the maximum size for a carry-on is now 22 x 14 x 9 inches.Can you carry items bigger than 3 ounces in your checked bag?
These are limited to travel-sized containers that are 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less per item. Placing these items in the small bag and separating from your carry-on baggage facilitates the screening process.

Answer 2
Conventionally, the order is determined decreasingly. Since you can basically rotate a piece of bag to any direction, we conventionally assume that the item is placed horizontally and in width
So the largest measurement of the parallelepiped is width. Second is length, and third is height.
Nonetheless, when you are required to prove your bag fits with size by inserting it into the sized box provided by the airplane, the bag is inserted vertically, so the longest measurement becomes height.
This has absolutely no effect as all the three dimensions must fit the limit individually, unlike the post office service where you can mail a box of any size which fits a given volume.
