Have you measured it? Wondering if you'd be willing to provide the length measurement you got. Seems 23" or so is fine for major domestic airline sizers, but I've also recently seen a YouTube vide in which a guy was unable to fit his Aurora into a sizer. He never commented on which airline's sizer it was, but it gave me pause. LW seems to be one of few companies with affordable bags that are built well and report to have reasonable case dimensions. TravelPro is the consensus average consumer pick, but all of their 22x14x9 bags are more like 23-23.5" long.
