No Problem, I was on the hunt for something new when I saw where the plane came from.

I'd say the space increase is no more than 10% (not that I am any sort of math expert). Maybe they meant they could hold 10% more bags; I would believe that since the new doors likely reduce the number of "long ways" bags increasing the total number of bags held.
