The LA Times reports that these airlines have reduced acceptable carry-on baggage dimensions. In future, they have to be max. 22 x 14 x 9 inches. This includes the space for handles and wheels - not good for bags with 4 independent wheels at the base. Width on American used to be 15 inches but bags this wide are now being denied cabin access when detected.
Confusingly, other US airlines like JetBlue and Southwest continue with 24 x 16 x 10. International airlines also have different limits тАУ e.g. BA 22 x 18 x 10 and Korean 21 x 15 x 7. But many other trans-Pacific carriers (JAL, Cathay Pacific, Eva etc.) have the same limits as the new ones for AA etc. - 22 x 14 x 9. My guess is this will soon become the industry norm with baggage checks becoming more frequent.
