Why Singapore Airlines measures differently

Singapore Airlines is unusual in our set: it publishes no per-side maximum at all. The only published rule is that length plus width plus height must not exceed 45.3 inches per piece. No single dimension is capped on its own.

That changes which bags pass. A long, flat bag and a short, deep one can total the same and both be acceptable, where an airline with a 22 × 14 × 9 rule would reject one of them outright. It also means a bag advertised as meeting a standard carry-on limit tells you nothing here — 22 + 14 + 9 is 45 inches, so a standard case sits close to the 45.3-inch line with very little room, and any external pocket or strap can push it over.

Add the three sides of your bag together, including wheels and handles, and compare the total. The checker above does exactly that rather than pretending a per-side limit exists.

Carry-on vs personal item on Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines allows a personal item up to 15.7 x 11.8 x 3.9 in alongside the null x null x null in carry-on. Both are included in the fare, so the practical question is only whether each bag is within its own limit.
