Carry-on 1cm too wide, will it fit? If not, alternatives?
I will be relocating in a year and CDG will become my primary airport. As a result, I will most likely start using Air France.
The dimensions of my carry-on are 19.4 x 14.1 x 7.3 in, or about 49.3 x 35.8 x 18.5 cm. Air France's published limits are 55 x 35 x 25 cm.
Does anyone know if a bag that is a little under 1 cm too wide will fit in the Air France sizers?
If this won't fit, does anyone know of a quality luggage brand that sells bags that are within the allowed dimensions? It appears as though every option from B&R, Rimowa, Tumi, etc. is wider than 35 cm. I found a suitcase from Aleon which fits (the 20″ Vertical Business Carry-On), but I am unfamiliar with the brand and it has a bizarre opening style. Moreover, it is quite heavy given that both suitcase and personal item must be below 18 kg.
Thank you in advance for your help.
