I booked our flights with Delta. The plane leaving JFK has a DL reference as the flight number. However, it’s an Air France plane it says.
I’m concerned about our carryon. Mine fits the Delta planes, but I’ve read it’s considered too big for the European flights. Will I be able to use it? (22 x 14 x 9). TY
You have to go by the carry on rules of the airline operating the aircraft.
When flying a European carrier, it's best to compare sizes in metric (centimeters.)
Delta is 56 x 35 x 23
Air France is 55 x 35 x 25
1 cm=0.4 inches.
You decide if you think you want to risk it.
Just make sure the combined weight of your carry on and your personal item doesnt exceed 12kg or 26.4 lbs. You are limited to that otherwise you will have to check a bag.
Delta’s Codeshare policies. Scroll down for Air France notes. As Frank says, Air France rules are followed for practical air operation purposes.
You didn’t specify which cabin you booked, but I will tell you that if you are in business class, you probably can get away with it. If you’re in premium, you’ve got a 50-50 shot and if you’re in coach, it gets harder. Air France tends to have a class system about checking for luggage size in my experience.
1 cm=0.4 inches
Only if you round up. 1cm = .3937". That makes more than a 1/4" difference than .4" on a 55cm maximum suitcase. Will Air France be that picky? Probably not, But it means it may not fit in their luggage sizer.

Well dang. I guess we”ll check our carry one (easy to move around with), but with things we’d be able to live without if they lose or are late with our luggage. I’ll buy a larger backpack than I usually use (as my carryon piece), and put my important things in it. (Ie alot of my clothing).
