The verdict, explained

At 21x13.5x9", the U.S. Traveler Rio Expandable fits inside Hawaiian Airlines's 22x14x9" carry-on allowance, right at the limit. It should slide into the overhead bin without trouble at the gate sizer. On Hawaiian Airlines: Carry-on free; 25 lb cabin-bag weight limit enforced. It is too large for Hawaiian Airlines's under-seat personal-item space, so it has to go overhead or be checked.

💡 At the gate

Airlines measure at the widest external point — wheels, handles, and bulging pockets all count. Pull soft-bag compression straps fully tight before you size it.
