Experienced Flyers - Measuring Luggage

Dumb question maybe.  When measuring luggage are the handles and wheels included?  I'm looking at a couple different sizes and don't want to go over the airline's limit.

Yes, they are.

And another helpful hint--if you put the wheels toward the aisle, even if your suitcase is a bit long, the overhead bin doors will still close.  It's a pain to get it down, but for whatever reason, it always works.

Thanks ladies.  DH and I are set with a couple of Lug bags for our carry-ons.  I was mainly thinking about checked bags, but now that I know I'm sure the rule would apply to all.
