Here are the 7 main airlines flying out of Richmond and their baggage sizes. Keep in mind, not all airlines are the same, and some carriers are stricter about baggage than others. It also matters, unfortunately, in my experience, how quickly you board the plane as far as being able to bring your carry-on onto the plane with you. In my experience, if you’re going to bring a carry-on, you may want to book your seat as close to the front of the plane as possible, because those in the last group to board are typically the ones that end up having their carry-on checked at the gate (and that’s a pain in the ass).
