About HonkCheck
Built by a frequent traveler tired of surprise bag fees.
Airlines publish size limits. Bag brands publish dimensions. Somehow, finding a bag that actually fits your airline still takes an afternoon and a tape measure. HonkCheck does the comparing for you.
How we check
- Airline limits come from each airline's own website. Every airline page shows the source link and the date it was last checked.
- Bag specs come from the brand's own product page. A bag only appears here after its numbers have been checked by hand.
- No guessing. If a brand does not publish a number, we show "Not listed" instead of making one up.
What a fit badge means
A badge compares a bag's published size with an airline's published limit. "Honk! Fits" means the numbers fit. It does not mean a gate agent will agree, especially if the bag is overstuffed. Soft bags can bulge, and airlines change their rules. Always confirm with your airline before you fly.
How HonkCheck pays for itself
We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. Links never change which bags we show or how they are ranked. Ranking is based only on fit and on the answers you give.
Goose glossary
- Gosling: a personal item. It goes under the seat in front of you.
- Goose: a carry-on. It goes in the overhead bin.
- Grounded: too big for that airline's published limit.
