How was this checked?

The bag's three sides come from its own listing, which states the size includes wheels and handles. Both sets of numbers are sorted largest first and compared side by side in inches, the unit Spirit publishes. Exactly on the limit counts as a fit; a tenth over does not. Including handles and wheels. Spirit's Value option does not include a carry-on; it can be bought separately.

Price when checked: $390.00, listed weight 7.72 lb.
