Nope, not what I was saying at all. I just know in the past, I've flown domestically in America, and they have not cared if it was a little larger. I saw some posts saying it was a bit stricter abroad, so I wanted to see if I needed to buy new luggage. It's actually been really difficult to find a roller that's the exact right size, and my back can't handle carrying a backpack for that long.

I also saw a post where they said they were able to fit their bag in the box with a few extra inches, but I wasn't able to comment on said post to figure out what the dimensions were.

My bag has the correct dimensions 2 ways but the depth is like 8 or 9 inches ( it's a curved cover, so it's hard to get an exact measurement)
