20 inch roller suitcase on a E90
Would it fit in the overhead bin on a E90? (I got upgraded to J on this flight and I don't think AC would mind me taking this carry-on).
BTW this bag fits easily into overhead bin on larger aircrafts such as 737s.
Thanks.

Also, the overhead bin in C on the left side is smaller, so you would have to make sure to put it into one of the bins on the left side.

You will need to beware of the FA Dragon who makes you put the second bag under the seat (in J!) because of the limited bin space in J. The starboard bins are the normal size or slightly smaller, but the port sides ones are quite small due to the off-centre* aisle.

Do you have any comparison to the UAX/Shuttle America E70s? They have full (even larger than some mainline planes) sized Starboard side bins in F, then smaller ones going back, but still large enough to fit a full 45" linear carry-on sideways.

Having flown these many times, I can tell you that the AC equipment is pretty much the same with respect to bin space as the UAX planes.

IMO as long as the suitcase is <22", it´s quite easy to fit the case into the overhead bins sideways, no need for compressing it, this is true for both Y and C (bin above C/D seats), have done so many times with my 22" rollaboard and no problems at all, and I think my rollaboard is even 1-2" higher than recommended.
