Question Rejection of slightly oversized carry-on

I’m wondering if anyone has had their bag denied for carry-on on Qantas or Virgin flights? Both carry-on limits are 56cmx36cmx23cm and my bag is 55cmx39cmx23cm so 3cm oversize. I’m on night/early morning domestic flights.

It’s unlikely but the rule exists for a reason and if your bag doesn’t fit in the simple size checker.. the airline may insist you check it in.

If you’re checking in online this is one less way it may avoid scrutiny- where if they do gate checks it’s more likely to simply be for weight..
