Bags that Do Not Fit Sizers
Official size as per Rule 23.B.2, Baggage, Contract of Carriage:
Under the 2013 contract of carriage, which is still valid for various tickets outstanding, the cabin baggage rule states a maximum of 45 linear inches combined for the LHW dimensions with no given side exceeding 22 inches. For such tickets, the cabin bag sizers are not lawfully applicable if the LHW combined linear inches don't exceed 45 linear inches and no side of the bag exceeds 22 inches. In other words for tickets issued last year, some bags allowed under the contract of carriage don't fit in the sizer without sticking out on at least one side.
Published carry-on limit: 9"x14"x22"
Actual sizer dimensions: 10"x15"x23"

This is a dead horse already. Many 15- and 17-laptops barely fit or don't fit upright in the sizer even without a case. A quick Google search will confirm that.
I'm extremely skeptical of the allegedly-compliant 17-inch PowerBook.

Confirmed that the Tumi 22022 fits in the carryon sizer (like a glove), despite being oversize by published dimensions. The handle cutout is crucial here -- there is no extra room in any dimension when bag is in the sizer, so no overpacking.
Onboard, the bag fits in the new bin A319/A320s wheels out, but only fits in sideways without the old bin doors -- so check your plane on the fleet site before you fly.

I consider the 22021 the 'longest' bag I want to carry since it fits in EVERY bin I put it in-sometimes just fitting, but an inch or two more and it won't fit in some the bins.
My 22021 was getting a bit long in the tooth, so Mrs Tin got me a 22020 as a gift. My God is it small- but it fits the box and even the published dimensions.
Still have seen no change in the boarding process....

Flying out of PHL last week, there was a GA standing next to the sizer, which was placed just before the jet bridge after scanning your BP. He eyed up my 22" Crew8, but said nothing. I heard another passenger in F mentioning how they made him check his bag.

I have...three times. It fit every time (fits most easily with the wheels on the right as you face the sizer). I don't stuff it so full that it bulges excessively...a bit maybe, but not a ridiculous amount.
) with my MBPR 15 fits in it fine. No, its not a spinner...

I understand, prior to to March 1 very few people, if any, tried the sizer. I know I never did. I do remember seeing them but I'm not sure if the were UA's other carriers.

Thanks again, I'm just concerned with the 22" dimension. Do you recall if you had to set it on slight angle? or the wheels and the back side were flat against the back of the sizer? Seems to me like the bag is longest from the two legs to top. And from the two wheels to the top is little shorter. (I know, its to prevent/minimize chance of tipping)
