At present, most airlines stipulate that the sum of the three sides cannot exceed 158cm, and 158cm, which is usually called a 30-inch consignment box in China. The size of the boarding suitcase is usually stipulated that the sum of three sides does not exceed 1 15 cm, which is generally called a 20-inch boarding box in China. Some airlines have additional regulations on the sum of the three sides of two check-in boxes. For example, Air China stipulates that the sum of the three sides cannot exceed 273 cm. In this case, the consignment box needs to be prepared with a large box of 1 30 inch (158cm) plus a small box (sum of three sides 1 15) or two medium-sized boxes of about 24 inch (peace of three sides 140).
The following are the regulations on checked baggage of major airlines on China-US routes (other airlines please check the corresponding regulations in official website:

To sum up, generally speaking,
1. The purchase strategy of the shipping box is as follows:
1. by American airlines: buy two large suitcases 158(30 inches);
2. Flying in China or Korean Air:
A) Buy two boxes of about 24 inches;
B) Buy a 30-inch large box and a 20-inch small box as consignment boxes.
For boarding boxes, it is generally enough to buy one under 20 inches. For international airlines, a 20-inch standard size box can be stuffed into the luggage compartment at the top of the seat. But in the United States, flying to other small cities, there may be small planes that can't get the luggage compartment. But don't be nervous about this. This boarding box will not count the number of checked baggage. You can still take the box to the boarding gate, but before boarding, the flight attendant will ask you to put it at the door, and some airport personnel will take it away and put it in the consignment box. Therefore, never put your laptop in the boarding box. There have been cases where the boarding box computer was smashed before.
Personal belongings We usually take a notebook bag or backpack. Generally, no one will check the weight of the schoolbag. You can buy a slightly larger one. As long as you can carry it, plug it desperately. However, it should be noted that backpacks have to go through customs security. If the customs finds that the backpack is messy, something can't be seen clearly, so you need to take it out. If you put it in the wrong place, it is difficult to take it out, and it is even more difficult to put it back. So, remember to tidy up your backpack and stuff it neatly.
To sum up, there are two check-in boxes (two 30-inch or 1 30-inch plus one 20-inch or two 24-inch, and you need to pay attention to the airline's regulations on the sum of three sides of checked baggage when buying air tickets), 1 20-inch boarding box, 1 backpack or notebook bag.
Remind students to understand the airline's luggage regulations when preparing suitcases.
