I got the idea from going to all four oneworld carriers' websites and copying down their checked and carry-on baggage rules/limits.
As for the size of AA domestic carry-ons, I was very surprised when I read that on the website. I just did 8.5 days MRs (34 segments) in the last 2.5 weeks, with my 22" TravelPro, and I can assure you that mine was about the smallest carry-on bag I observed. The norm was at least 50% larger, and there were a couple bags that had to have been nearly 100% larger than my bag! Apparantly they didn't have any problems getting those past TSA and the Gate Agents. I'm getting a 25" TravelPro for domestic long weekend jaunts (extended MRs
) which I'm sure will not be blinked at at all, given what I've seen.
