Catalina Collection Comparison Guide

Does the Catalina Collection meet airline size requirements for carry-on bags?

In general, yes. It is always a good idea to confirm requirements with your airline beforehand. For most major airlines: The Catalina Deluxe Large can be placed in the overhead compartment of most aircrafts. The Catalina Deluxe Small can be placed in the overhead compartment of most aircrafts and may fit underneath the airline seat when not fully packed. The Catalina Deluxe Tote should fit underneath the airline seat of most aircrafts, and should comply with the dimension requirements of most aircrafts. The Catalina Day Tote is not built for air travel like its counterparts in the collection (it does not have the luggage sleeve) however, it can fit under most airline seats as a personal item.
