I would think 14x22x9 would the biggest that would not have to be turned sideways in most newer style overhead bins. The problem is that a lot of luggage makers say their bags are that size but are often larger since they don't count unmovable handles, feet and wheels that stick out. Those cause the problems with the doors closing.
I only need it for this trip as I want to have enough clothes for an extended trip without checked bags. I plan on bringing my tumi tri-fold garment bag but would like to add a second bag, the airlines, aircraft and classes will be...

BA 747 (J)
BA A320/321 (J)
TG 77W (F)
TG 7742 (F)
Jetstar (Australia) A320 (J? I think)
TG 7743 (F)
TG A330 (J)
SQ 777-300ER (J)
SQ 777-200ER (J)
TG 737-400 (J)

I don't anticipate any other airlines/types coming into play outside of possible a ThaiAir Asia A320

If you could suggest a large bag that will make it into all of these overheads so I can max out the clothing packed that would be greatly appreciated.
