I have never seen any airline actually measure a bag and have seen these size being checked in. Fee for oversize bag is $200 so not a small issue if they actually measure and got a ticket agent in a bad mood.

Anyone ever have a problem with these size wise?

Note: this is for checked bags - not carry-on
I have one of these:
Samsonite Winfield 2 28" Hardside Spinner Luggage : View All Collections
Basically same dimensions, and have had no issues with flying or on cruises. We use it as a couple, it's plenty of room for two people to pack for a 4-5 day trip. We regularly bump right up against the 50 pound limit, but that's for two people.
