Any one have experience with them fitting in overheads? I don't think i'd need to super stuff either of them....for what it's worth.. I end up on 757-200's and 300's and occasionally airbus 3xxs etc...I never have any luck getting gate staff to let me take anything on the rare ERJs i end up on...

Any experiences/suggestions? Thanks in advance...
I use the small duffel frequently for travel and have never had any problems. Its dimensions are similar to the medium travel bag so I expect you would have a similar experience.

The Pullman is a little larger. It exceeds the typical "45 linear inches" limit by a hair, but since it is soft-sided, if you under-pack you will be able to squeeze it into the sizer.
