I am traveling tomorrow from DC to NYC on the Acela. I'll be staying for 5 days and will be bringing a suitcase (as opposed to a smaller carry-on). I've looked at the policy and am worried my suitcase is too big, but would appreciate some guidance. The packable area in the bag is 27", but unfortunately with the wheels, handle on top, etc., it is closer to 30. It will be under the weight limit and all other dimensions fit well within the 28 X 22 X 14 limit. So my question is, what will happen if I try and carry it on? Will it not fit? Will someone insist that I check it before I board? Just trying to figure out if I need to borrow a suitcase for the trip since I can't fit everything into my usual 22" carry-on.
Thank you!
