Underseat space on airplane

[Jaylie]

I just bought a Samsonite Spinner Boarding Bag which I am hoping will fit under the seat in front of me. I almost always fly Southwest and sit in the middle seat. Does anyone have any information about that?

I don't know how big that bag is - is it a hard sided bag? I know that my wheeled carry-on size bag (22" I think but going by memory) would never fit under the seat - it has to go in the overhead.

Why not just plan on putting it in the overhead?

Under the seat space is quite tight, and most things have to be smooshed a bit to get them underneath, unless there about the size of a laptop computer bag.

It has to slide all the way under, it cannot block your feet.

Might be a little big. The middle seat usually has the most room.

It won't fit. Only backpacks and large purses, etc will fit, and even those just barely fit sometimes.

Just put it in the overhead.

When I traveled ds's cat, the cat carrier was about 17x12x8. It was soft-sided and fit beneath the seat in front of me. So, not sure if your bag will or not....just my experience.
