So now I'm back to the garment bag again
Everything fits well, in fact, I have even more room available than I did in my roll-on. I even took pictures... The garment bag is very nice, I just found that it also has a "slot" in the fabric through which you slide the handle of the rolling luggage. I measured everything, and the thickness now ends up @ ~22.5x14x~9.5 (it can squish to 8"). So I'm guaranteed to fit in the overhead and sizers. Yay
We'll see how this all works out when I get back... Now it's off to the airport with the garment bag.
Good luck! Im at LHR now and they didnt even size my bags. The Skytrain was on my back. I was going to check but was pretty rushed since AA offered me an earlier flight and I took the offer.
