What bag are you talking about? What model? The IATA model I found is as described, 0.2" too big in 2 dimensions.

And why measure in inches? Because that's what this Rimowa page shows, inches. Air Canada also has dimensions in inches. Again, they don't match; the Rimowa is 0.2" too big in 2 dimensions.

Again, none of this necessarily means the Rimowa won't fit in AC's sizers. As I already said, my Tumi is 0.5" too big in 1 dimension and fits the sizers fine.

All this means is AC's max permissible size is smaller than IATA's international standard, which is kind of ridiculous, no?
