Linear inch is a fantasy word from the airlines. It means:
X linear inches = length + width + depth (measured in inches).
Inches are still inches.
A 62 "linear inch" bag could measure 60" by 1" by 1" or 21" by 21" by 20" or any other set of dimensions that add up to 62.
Dimensional inches is a measurement used by airlines to determine maximum size. It is the combined length, width, and depth of a piece of luggage.
X dimensional inches = length + width + depth (measured in inches).
It means that the sum of the length, breadth and height of the luggage is 58 inches. The individual measurements cannot be determined.
The sum of its length, width and height is 62 inches. Within that constraint the suitcase can have any size.

* The maximum size carry-on bag for most airlines is 45 linear inches (the total of the height, width, and depth of the bag). Anything larger should be checked. * No oversize packages or luggage can be stowed onboard.

Luggage size is typically measured by length x width x height . This is in inches or centimeters. For the luggage total size, simply multiply the three numbers together. Luggage can also be measure by weight. This is in terms of Kilograms or Pounds
From what I can tell, most airlines impose a maximum size of 45 linear inches - that is, height + width + depth. Most carry-ons are going to be 22 inches in height, 14 inches wide, and 9 inches deep or smaller. This varies by airline and by aircraft. (I've been on small planes that even my pretty little carry-on is too big for.) Alaska Airlines : 24 x 17 x 10 United Airlines : 22 x 14 x 9 American Airlines : 45 linear inches (unspecific legnths) Southwest Airlines : 24 x 16 x 10
You can bring a luggage but it has to be a small luggage only.
Cannot exceed 45 linear inches (9 inches by 14 inches by 22 inches) http://www.nwa.com/travel/luggage/carryon.HTML the largest size airplane bag you possably could carry on is probably a 1 1/2 foot long and 1 foot wide bag. i measured the airplane size box so that's pretty accurate!
The maximum size most airlines will allow for a carry on bag is 45 linear inches. To measure the linear inches, total of the height, width, and depth of the bag in inches. Some airlines may be different so it is always best to check with them before you fly.
Linear inches (or linear centimetres) is a term invented by the airline industry to measure baggage. The size of an item in linear inches is the sum of the length plus the width plus the height of the item. A 20-by-20-by-5-inch suitcase, a 1-by-11-by-4-inch painting and a 1-by-1-by-43-inch fishing rod are all the same size in terms of linear inches. Size restrictions are different for different classes of tickets and for different airlines, but the one constant is that airlines measure baggage in linear inches. So by the same yard stick you can measure the dimensions of the suitcase that matches 180 linear centimetres. - from e-how.com
