Why oh why is there no standard for the sizes of bags you can carry onto aircraft?
Oh there is in theory and there are baggage manufacturers who build capacious bags to those exact dimensions but they have failed to take into account the penny pinching mentality of the low cost no frills carriers who think its is both fun and profitable to reduce the sizes of bags that can be accommodated on board their own aircraft.
I am not talking here of Ryan Air who think that a carrier bag from Waitrose is too big to carry without a surcharge. No I am talking about the Flybe's and the easyJets of this world who when they construct there rules shave just a centimeter off here and there off the official specifications just so they can catch the customer out and charge an extra charge.
