IME, I have never seen a tape measure brought out by an agent. Not for me, not for anybody else. I wonder if they even have one.
But in any case, chances are very very slight that you will get charged for a couple of inches more. Just like when my bag goes over 50lbs by less than 1lb.
Why not just buy a true 62" bag in any case? It is not that two inches less will ruin your shopping trip, is it?
