The verdict, explained

At 22x14.25x10.25", the SWISSGEAR Softside Expandable Carry-On exceeds Norwegian's 21.6x15.7x9.0" carry-on sizer — it is 0.4" too big on its longest side, 1.2" too big on its shortest side. Even with the straps pulled tight, the overage is too large to count on squeezing it in. Expect it to be turned away at the gate and gate-checked. On Norwegian: LowFare includes personal item only; cabin bag needs a heavier fare. It is too large for Norwegian'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.
