I'm flying a lot more these days and I've been out of the flying loop for years. A lot has changed these days. Most of which isn't all that great.

But to the point. I'm just learning how to play the "airline game", specifically with baggage and carry-on luggage. I know Frontier will let you bring a "personal item" that supposedly is no bigger than 8" x 14" x 18.

My trips are generally 2-3 day short mini vacation trips, so a small bag this size is certainly doable.

So, I bought this from Wal Mart.

Isn't it...uhh, cute?
Although it seems to meet the size measurements, I'm still concerned I'll get to the counter and the agent will end up charging me for a carry on.

I mean, it's not the end of the world if that happens or anything, but who wants to pay $60 for luggage when you don't have to?

Can any Frontier vets spout off?

Thank you! Glad to be aboard the flyer talk forums!
