bag vs limit

13.5 × 8.5 × 3.75 inEnormous margin against every limit here, and it looks like a normal bag rather than travel gear. Ten litres is a daybag though, not a travel bag.
Turkish allows a cabin bag of 55 × 40 × 23 cm — 21.7 × 15.7 × 9.1 inches — and weighs it at 8 kg (17.6 lb), which most US carriers never do. The under-seat item is 40 × 30 × 15 cm.
Fare class: Not distinguished on the carry-on page. The EcoFly, ExtraFly and PrimeFly fare-brand page was unreachable, so fare-level variation is unconfirmed.
Turkish is one of very few carriers anywhere that puts a published weight limit on the personal item itself — 4 kg. That closes the usual escape hatch of shifting heavy things into your backpack.
Measure the outside, wheels and handles included — that’s what they measure at the gate.

The anti-theft option that actually fits — slash-resistant panels, locking zips, RFID pocket, and a 13-inch laptop sleeve, all inside United’s width.
Pacsafe’s own site is JavaScript-gated, so this comes from a retailer spec rather than the brand. The 0.2 inches of width margin rests on that number.

Yes — 40 × 30 × 15 cm, or 15.7 × 11.8 × 5.9 inches, up to 4 kg. It goes under the seat in front of you.
No — it is 0.3 inches over. Turkish allows 21.7 × 15.7 × 9.1 inches, and the standard US 22 × 14 × 9 does not fit inside that.

Of the bags we track, 7 of 16 carry-ons fit the cabin limit and 2 of 25 personal items fit the under-seat limit. All of them are under the weight limit empty.
Manufacturers publish dimensions inconsistently, and a “20-inch” spinner is almost never 20 inches once you count the wheels. Where a brand states dimensions including wheels and handles, that’s the number we use. Where it only publishes the case, we say so on the card. Airlines measure the outside of your bag — wheels, handles, straps and all. Anything marked borderline is down to the gate agent, and remember that a soft bag squashes into a sizer while a hard shell won’t.
