About us
Airline carry-on limits, paired with bags that stay inside them.
A getaway deserves a calmer opening scene than a dispute over your bag. Fabmina puts each carrier’s official numbers next to well-reviewed bags, so you can buy once and board without the frame test.

Our story
How Fabmina came about
Seventy pages of suitcases, and no clear answer
It began with a simple errand: buying one carry-on bag. Online stores offered page after page of near-identical options, sorting by “best sellers” kept surfacing sponsored listings, and nothing told us which of them would actually pass the frame on the airline we’d booked. So we made the tool we wanted.
We read the baggage pages of the 20 carriers people in Canada fly most, note each limit alongside when we looked, and hold it up against the bags shoppers score highest. That way you reach the terminal certain about your bag instead of worried.
We don’t push particular products — we sort and label what already sells well. Stars and the number of reviews behind them come from verified shopper reviews. Alongside carry-on bags you’ll find travel accessories, sleep aids, toiletries, security kit and things for travelling with children.
Why people rely on us
Six things we promise to keep doing
- 01
Limits copied from the carrier
Every measurement comes from the airline’s own help pages, never from blogs or forums, and each carrier shows the month we last opened its page.
- 02
A shortlist, not a catalogue
We skip the long tail. Products are ordered by their shopper star score, weighted by how many people have left one, so the top of each list is what thousands of buyers already rate. No brand pays to move up.
- 03
Matched to your exact flight
Pick a carrier and we hide every bag that breaks its limit. “Max. size” squeezes out the most packing room; “More compact” leaves a margin for a stuffed front pocket.
- 04
Re-checked, not set and forgotten
Carriers tweak bag rules with little warning. We revisit their pages regularly and update the figures when something moves.
- 05
Kit for everyone travelling
Beyond carry-on bags we cover chargers, wash bags, sleep kit, padlocks and children’s travel gear — the things that make a journey calmer for the whole group.
- 06
Still growing
Ideas on our list include price-drop alerts and notices when a carrier changes its rules. Tell us what would help and it may shape what comes next.
Worth knowing
The small print, in plain words
Carrier measurements come from each airline’s website, and the date of our last check sits beside every one. Measurements, weights and finishes of each bag are taken from the manufacturer’s product listing; we read them carefully, but an error can slip through. Rules and product details can change overnight, so look at the carrier’s own page shortly before flying — links to it appear all over this site.
Retailers occasionally merge the scores of related listings, so a compact and a larger version of one design may display an identical rating. Check that the variant in your basket is the size you want, and skim its newest reviews.
We don’t sell or ship anything — there’s no shop or checkout here. Our independence page explains how we keep the rankings neutral.
