| FastAccess™Feature | For frequent flyers who want laptop access at security without opening the whole bag. |

| HardsideBuild | Better shell protection with scratch-resistant polycarbonate. Most styles include a TSA lock. |
Check your airline's size limit first. Budget and international carriers can be strict, sometimes requiring bags as small as 18″ x 14″ x 8″. Run your flight through our Airline Compliance Checker before you buy.
Overall size is what counts. Airlines measure the whole bag, wheels and handles included. Ricardo listings give you both numbers, so check the "overall" dimension against your airline's limit.
Expandable bags grow. Most Ricardo carry-ons add 1.5″–2″ when expanded. Zip it back down before boarding so it still fits at check-in.
Every Ricardo carry-on comes with a 10-year limited warranty, plus free shipping on orders over $175.
Airline policies change often, so it's worth double-checking with your carrier before you travel.

How to read "vs. 22×14×9": every measurement above is the bag's overall size with wheels and handles included, since that's what most gate-side sizers actually check. No line in the current lineup is fully within 22×14×9 on all three dimensions. Most clear it on height and are slightly over on width and/or depth, typically by a ¼″–1¾″. This is common across the luggage industry and rarely causes an issue in practice, but airline policies vary and some carriers do enforce a hard sizer. If you're flying a smaller regional jet or a budget carrier with strict enforcement, the Montecito International 19″ is the closest true fit in the lineup. Always confirm against your specific airline's carry-on size policy before you fly. This airline's limit is stricter than standard. See our Small Carry-On collection for options.
