It's about time that we get a carry-on for Béis that fits European and other stricter airlines. However, I have to say, I'm already disappointed. No, I do not have one yet (girl, I wish). I imagine it stands up to the quality of their other carry-ons. I'm disappointed because I love the Béis carry-on because it maximizes the carry-on baggage allowance and she's beautiful (patiently waiting for my Barbie pinks arrival in January 2024).
Let's compare it to the airlines dimensions!
Compared in cm, because the rest of the world operates with cm. Assumed economy class, higher classes may have greater allowances. Airlines based in the USA are excluded from this. Do not forget to check your dimensions with wheels! Some airlines have actual metal boxes at check-in or the gate, where you have to prove that your carry-on fits! Please note that these dimensions are for the larger cabin bag or trolley bag. Some airlines charge extra to have this bag and only include a backpack/purse (personal item) as a carry-on in the ticket price.
Béis The Carry-On Roller: 22.8 x 15.7 x 9.8 in. = 57.91 x 39.88 x 24.89 cm.
Béis The Front Pocket Carry-On: 21.5 x 13.5 x 9 in. = 54.61 x 34.29 x 22.86 cm.

Please always double-check the airline website before booking a flight, as these dimensions can be subject to change.

Qantas - Check their website, depends on the flight.
The preferred dimensions for me would have been 55 x 35 x 23 with an extension that would bring it to 55 x 40-45 x 23. This would have covered a majority of the airlines I would fly (including some great budget ones!), and given me extra space for those that allow a little more! So I personally won't be buying this one. However, if they come out with the extension option on the Front-Pocket Carry-On, I will be all over it!
If you have experienced flying one of these airlines with your Béis carry-on, I want to know! Did you make it on or did you have to pay extra? What other airlines do you want to know about? Read more about my experience with the Béis carry-on roller here.
Now, please enjoy this low quality photo of me boarding our Airasia flight without my Béis black carry-on roller because they did in fact decide to be strict on this day. It was not fun, but smiling because we were leaving Nha Trang, Vietnam to go to a resort in Krabi, Thailand!
