DON'T worry, nobody is coming for your enormous RollaBoard suitcase just yet.

On June 9, the International Air Transport Association (Iata) made headlines by announcing a new guideline for carry-on luggage. They said carry-ons had grown too big, so they are promoting a new luggage size of 21.5 inches by 13.5 inches by 7.5 inches - smaller than the 22-by-14-by-9 limit used by most US carriers today, and therefore smaller than a lot of the suitcases travellers regularly use as carry-on luggage.
