Use this page the right way

The fee table is the evidence layer. The value comes from connecting it to trap logic, enforcement reality, and the next action that lowers your all-in cost.

Sizer Reality Check

Carry-on measurements usually include wheels and handles. A bag marketed as "22 inches" can still fail if the real outer shell runs tall or will not compress when gate staff starts enforcing size visually.
