Linear inches chart for checked luggage

Updated 2026-09-24. Researched from airline pages and published specifications.

Quick answerThe 24 to 26 inch checked suitcases in this chart measure 54 to 58.3 linear inches with wheels, under the 62 inch (158 cm) standard. The 28 to 30 inch cases measure 63 to 67 linear inches, and 8 of the 8 are over 62, so a large case can trigger an oversize fee.

Limits change; confirm with your airline before you fly. Every figure here links to the airline page it came from.

Linear inches are the three outside dimensions added together. Each row is a real suitcase whose listing states the size with wheels.
