I'm thinking of using a mesh bag with a drawstring for a carry-on. Saves a lot on weight and can be put into almost any shape/size required, depending on what's inside.

I know that Sherwood Tritons are close to 22" but am not sure about all sizes.
8 years ago when we were diving in Costa Rica there was a Japanese diver on the boat. He had the most unusual fins I've ever seen. In fact, this was the one and only time I've seen such fins.
His fins were made of rigid semi-transparent plastic, orange-red in color. Imagine a fin as a plastic plate maybe 20"x5", reenforced with stainless steel so it is completely inflexible. The end of the plate is T-shaped, and the side ends of the T are bent down almost into a circle maybe 6"-7" in diameter, leaving a gap of about 2" between them. At least, I remember his fins as I described. The diver claimed that these fins gave terrific kick. I do not remember if we discussed if his fins did fit into a carry-on, but I reckon they should.

I've never had an issue carrying on my fins I usually take a set of freediving long fins with my if I will be diving in current they are well over 22". I have a padded fin bag that carries as a back pack and it fits in the back of the overhead and can still put a back pack in front of it. I don't like to check them because they are carbon fiber and I've watched luggage handlers load a plane!
