Tips for flying Discover
- •Measure your packed bag, wheels and handles included; many suitcases sold as "22-inch" are taller with the wheels.
- •Discover's personal item limit is on the small side, so a typical laptop backpack may be too deep.
- •Weigh your bag at home: Discover has a 8 kg (17.6 lb) carry-on limit.
