Hello.
I'm confused about the size restrictions of checked luggage and I'm hoping you can help me.
I just purchased a new samsonite 29" spinner suitcase for our upcoming trip. I know the airline policy is 62" and my suitcase would be just under that at 61.5. I thought I would be ok since it's the typical 29" suitcase.
However if I mearsure with the wheels, it adds up to a little over 62". Does the policy for suitcase size include wheels? Thank you so much for any clarification. Looking forward to flying with Southwest, as always!

Wheels and handles do not count as part of the bag size.
This is based on customer service policy stated in this thread: https://www.southwestaircommunity.com/t5/General-Travel-Policies/What-constitutes-quot-oversize-quot...
Have a great trip

So handles and wheels count in linear measurements for checked in bags. I saw on a post here from 2018 that it doesn't because it's protruding, just checking if that's still policy or not
