Compared in any orientation against each airline's published size limit. A tight fit has under 2cm to spare, so a packed soft bag may not pass a sizer. Set it to 0 to turn the warning off. Weight is what the airline allows in the cabin minus this bag's empty 0.5kg1.1lb. Limits and sources. Own a different bag? Check it against every airline.
