    You’re going to have to get some more specifics from your airline. Even with that, though, sometimes you get screwed and have the seat with a little less clearance than they publish.

    Personal items typically fit under the seat in front of you, so you can look for “underseat carry on bag” to get a rough idea of what is available.

      As an added bonus if you are in the very front seat and they say to put it under the seat in front of you, you have no where to put it

      Personal experience when I went to DC.

        Why not under your own seat…logic dictates everyone gets their own seat, not everyone has a seat in front of them.

          Because you can’t see under your own seat and the space under the seat in front of you is already where you store your feet. Typically, in the front row of the plane, there’s more leg space since like you said there’s no seat there.

          Not sure. But they said it goes under the seat in front of you. Not sure why they have that thought process.
