| Exact model | Published dimensions | Assessment |
|---|---|---|

Why the Metz is a candidate
Its listed dimensions match this particular allowance. That is a specification comparison, not evidence that every packed example passes an airport sizer. Confirm the 44L RPET version and measure bulges after packing.
Why Farpoint is not a strict fit recommendation
The current Farpoint page gives 23 cm depth, not the 22 cm previously shown here. We have not demonstrated that its packed frame and contents compress to 20 cm. Do not treat anecdotal airport acceptance as a dimensional guarantee.
Add the two independent checks
A backpack matching 55×40×20 cm still needs to stay within 10 kg when packed. It also requires the correct fare entitlement. On Basic, that same bag does not become free because it has soft sides. For a free bag, use the underseat shortlist.
The bag checker can compare your measured dimensions and fare. It cannot establish comfort, durability or how staff will handle a particular bag.
How this shortlist was made
We compared the linked manufacturer specifications with the stated use case. We did not handle, weigh, flight-test or durability-test these products. Model names and versions matter; confirm the exact item before buying. Prices and stock vary and are not ranked here.
