personal item sizes for airlines, 2018 research, special notes for Delta and TAP Portugal

Frontier              18 x 14 x 8
Delta                   20 x 17 x 11 (smaller in window seat)
Air France/KLM  16 x 12 x 6
TAP Portugal      16 x 12 x 5 (max weight 4.4 lbs / 2kg)
T&L Article          20 x 17 x 11
CostCo sm bag  16 x 12 x 8   (may be thicker if stuffed full or expanded)
Fits Mult airlines 17 x 10 x 8 according to another T&L article

Conclusion: CostCo bag is legal personal item on many airlines, except Virgin and Air France/KLM/TAP Portugal,
and is only legal on United if you don't bring another carry-on

On Frontier, only the personal item is included in the fare.  On TAP Portugal and Delta a personal item and a carry-on are included.  Don't know about others.

For carry-on, a size of 22 x 14 x 8, max 17.5 lb, would be free on both Delta and TAP Portugal (total of 22 lbs in personal and carry-on bag on TAP)

PIXMA MX922 error code B200 workaround, thanks to Canon Community Bulletin Board!

Don't replace the print head!  This happened eventually on both the MX922's we have


Re: PIXMA MX922 with error code B200 (Series MX920)

 
1. Turn OFF Power
2. Open the print head bay (as though you were about to change inks)
3. Turn ON power
4. Wait for print carriage to start moving to the left and let it go past half way
5. Before print carriage reaches left hand side (but after going halfway across) shut the cover.
6. Leave the Printer turned on
7. Good to go.
I tried this and it worked for me
