Was on a 738 the other day, and was embarrased to find out that my rollaboard did not fit in the overhead sideways (either with wheels in or out), so I had to put it longways, taking over more space.

I never had problems fitting this bag in the overheads sideways, including on my outbound on the same trip on another 738. FA told me that there are different configs of 738's, but I never knew the overheads were different. My bag is supposed to comply with carry on requirements (thats how it was advertised when I bought it, and it since has travelled a good 150k miles with me) Has anyone had this same issue?

Was this def. the case? the bag was not any fuller on the way home, and it fit fine on the way out. I just hate beign the DB that takes extra overhead space, and had I known that, I would have checked it. Luckly I was in F and there was enough space for everyone.
