Fare type notes
Some airlines include only a smaller underseat item with basic fares. Larger cabin bags can require a paid bundle, priority service, or eligible ticket.
How strict is Delta Air Lines?
Delta Air Lines publishes 55 x 35 x 22 cm for the cabin bag, and at the gate the sizer frame decides — not your tape measure. Enforcement varies by airport and crew, but a bag within 1 cm of any limit is always a gamble. Hard shells can't squeeze and soft bags bulge once packed — leave yourself a margin.

Underseat item
Delta Air Lines publishes Check fare conditions for the personal item on All cabins, but whether it's included depends on your ticket, and it has to fit under the seat in front of you. The weight allowance changes with fare type, so check your ticket.

Overhead cabin bag
Delta Air Lines's Standard carry-on allowance fare includes a carry-on up to 55 x 35 x 22 cm, and it goes in the overhead bin. Delta Air Lines does not publish a weight limit for this bag — the size frame is what gets enforced.
