Most airlines let you carry a bag up to 20x30x50cm (9x14x22").
Some airlines check that your bag fits in a box that size.
Other airlines check that your bag's length + width + height <= 100cm (45").
You could probably carry a bigger bag into the airplane,
but you'd have difficulty storing it above or below your seat.
A few airlines say your bag must weigh less than 6kg (15 pounds),
but I've never seen airlines weigh carry-on bags.
Still, you will be carrying that bag though the airport
and to your hotel, so make it light!
The point is not to see how much you can sneak onto the airplane.
The point is to see how light you can be.
