US Airlines reduce baggage size limits

There's nothing quite as annoying as getting to the airport only to be told by some officious airline representative that your carry-on bag is bigger than their allowed size.

And that's something that could be happening more often soon, as a number of big US-based airlines reduce their size limits for carry-on bags.

American Airlines, United and Delta have all reduced the maximum width of bags to 14 inches from 15 inches (that's to 35.5cm from 38cm for us Europeans) - so their passengers' bags now need to fit within 22 inches long, 14 inches wide and 9 inches high.

Not all US-based airlines have followed suit - but with these big 3 airlines changing their limits - the new policy could prove a headache for a lot of passengers.

Especially for long-haul passengers heading for Europe - where space for lots of items is a premium. If gay men can't get all 24 pairs of their Andrew Christian swimsuits into their carry on - look out for some heated scenes at check-in desks across America.
