Ok, planning my Black Friday purchases. I'm looking at having to travel internationally for the first time this year. Looking at TravelPro, they have the Platinum® Elite 20” Carry-On Expandable Business Plus Spinner which is listed in the 18-20" international Carry-On vs. the Travelpro® Platinum® Elite 21” Expandable Carry-On Spinner that I'm using today for domestic travel... Do I really need a 1" smaller bag for international carry-on?

I quit my old job but am working PT for them till they find a replacement. Apparently they could not get a refund on a flight they booked me and my manager is asking if (not me, but I can see it in Teams) I can reimburse for the ticket. It’s $800, anyone know if this is legal?
