tagging on to this thread since it is pretty recent.
I'm about to hit the "buy" button on a 22" domestic expandable upright baseline. My only hesitation is, seriously, going through security and the bag limit at heathrow. What is the likelihood I won't make it through a bag size check there? (I've had bad experiences with the liquid thing there and having to repack in one of their bags versus mine)
I currently travel with one of two carry-ons that are labeled as 22" but have usually checked them for long trips. I'd like to have the option to carryong though.
Both are slightly taller than 22". Both are also a bit deeper than the B&R. I've never had an issue with either other than having to gate check on regional planes which I expect. One is an older Atlantic from 20 years ago, the other an Ogio.
I am looking at likely having some connections in LHR in the future and the Heathrow web site seems to make a big deal about the luggage size fitting into the sizer before security. Am I over-thinking this?
