In great shape! Thank you so much for sharing. I too am OCD... I think I'll go with black as I want it to match the rest of my collection

Got my Rimowa Cabin Plus 49L in black in August 2023 to replace a Limbo 45L whch has traveled the world with me since 2016.
I love my Rimowa Cabin Plus 49L, scratches and all!
I am also pleased to see that it fit perfectly on the overhead bin of the Embrear 175 which is used by both United Express and American Eagle!
Believe it or not, the overhead door closes easily with it.

I have one in Titanium and love it. I will say I ran into an overhead bin issue for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I was in C+ on a Delta 757, and boarded a bit late. By the time I boarded, all of the overhead space around me was generally full, except for spaces that generally didn't accommodate a Cabin Plus size bag (If I had a Cabin S, maybe it would have fit into one of the nearby spaces). I just waited until boarding was finished and had the FA's gate check my bag. Not a huge deal as my bag was delivered quickly to baggage claim at JFK but it was an incident where the size of the bag was an issue

Cabin Plus on TK A320/321/321neo?
I do a lot of 3-5 days trips with TK short/medium haul in eco where I would like to avoid checking in bags to reduce waiting, risk of delays etc. so am thinking to buy an Original Cabin Plus.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with bringing a Rimowa Original Cabin Plus onboard TK A320/321/321neo in Eco?
I’m TK Elite so I can always board first.

Thank you everyone for your input, this is amazing! I've had my cabin plus for almost a year and never used it. Was thinking of reselling it since i've read other forums that told me it was too big. Was going to get the cabin, but couldn't find any deals. will be traveling with with my cabin plus for the first time with confidence!

So I was on a United 737-800 recently with their new and larger overhead bin, and I was able to put my Rimowa Original Cabin Plus 49L sideways!
BUT, neither I nor the flight attendant could get the overhead bin door to close! So it went back to its normal position, taking up more space than any other overhead luggage piece
Oh well, I tried !!!

Hi, I'm in the market for a new carry on and came across this thread researching the Rimowa cabin plus. I almost exclusively fly delta on the following planes, can anyone confirm overhead fitment?
crj-900- (pretty sure this is a no go)
Boeing 717-200
embraer 175 (assuming this is good based on above)
boeing 737-900er
Any photos would be great. Thanks!

Any updates on this? I'm choosing between the Cabin vs. Cabin Plus in Aluminum as well. 70-75% of my travel is domestic and on DL. 25-30% is international and a mix of different airlines, usually KL/AF and occasionally budget airlines (for which I'm happy to pay for checked luggage).
Given updates to aircraft bins, which one of these two options would you recommend?

I've you are flying AS DASH planes or any equivalent planes with limited luggage space, then I wouldn't recommend bringing the Rimowa, as it will be gate valet and perhaps damaged.
