Lots of room, etc. The bag measures more than the company says at over 62 total linear inches.
I have a big trip on El Al to Tel Aviv in Business class coming up. They allow 70 pounds ( I won't have that much) and 62 total linear inches.
What is recent experience with International carriers in Business Class being tough on the linear measurements? My thinking is that it'll come down to the person at the counter checking me in and what their mood is on that day at that moment.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
I think you'll be fine. I find that when flying to tel aviv, its much more about weight of your checked luggage, and the size/weight of your carry on. I have seen some massive bags-and they never blinked. I travel with hockey bags at times for some extra stuff, they never have taken a measuring tape out.
I dont see them questioning or caring about the size of your of luggage in biz class
