If you're going to the wine country North from SF, get to St. Helena. There's a Tumi outlet there. Or, call them and see if they have what you want. They have great sales.

The current restriction on hand luggage, according to BA, is 22 x 18 x 10. Ideally I’d like to buy the 22” model but I’m concerned that it would fall foul of the regulation (by just half an inch) and I’d have to put it in the hold, which is exactly what I’m trying to avoid.
Has anyone had any problems with the 22” model? Am I best to play it safe and go for the 20” one?
