Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L on United Airlines
Bag 21.75×14.5×11" vs sizer 22×14×9"
No — it's oversized.
The verdict, explained
At 21.75x14.5x11", the Patagonia Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L exceeds United Airlines's 22x14x9" carry-on sizer — it is 0.5" too big on its second-longest side, 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 United Airlines: Basic Economy: NO overhead carry-on on most routes (personal item only). It is too large for United Airlines's under-seat personal-item space, so it has to go overhead or be checked.
