Now that we are all traveling again, I needed the best carry-on bag for my personal items. I wanted a carry-on that was both roomy and stylish, and that fit under the seat.

First, I looked at the requirements for each of the major airlines. (I suggest you doublecheck the personal item size limits on your airline of choice before selecting the perfect bag for you.)

Personal Item size limitations

•  United 17” x 10” x 9” (128 square inches)
• American 18” x 14” x 8” (168 square inches)
• Delta 22” x 14”

In January, I decluttered my place and redecorated – clearing out my old furniture. Since I live in New York City, I decided to sell my used furniture online, rather than storing it.
