I'm travelling to Japan for 3 weeks and was wondering if it would be able to be used as a carry on for United? Or would the Redwing 44 be better?

Depending on what they define as carry on. The back support brace and lower strap can be removed to better conform to the carry on guide lines.

Hi Sue! I strongly suggest the TETON Sports Scout3400. It's the perfect size for a carry on so long as you don't over-stuff it. In fact, that's one of the things I like about it so much. You pack it to fit within the carry-on restrictions and then you have a little extra room for things that you purchase along the way. If you check out the 100's of reviews, you'll note that many talk about using it as a carry-on. Anytime you get over 100 reviews with the vast majority being 4 and 5 stars, you know you have a winner. I love mine (green) and my husband loves his (orange). I'm 5'4" and he's 5'10". Have a blast in Europe! Hi Sue! I strongly suggest the TETON Sports Scout3400. It's the perfect size for a carry on so long as you don't over-stuff it.

Yes it has been allowed as a carry on. Last trip was to D.C. No problem, was slipped into a pocket in a backpack carry-on.

I'm not familiar with older models, can't help you there.As for taking on a plane as an extra bag, it's fairly large and heavy, so I would say no.

It's a small bag! I think you could take it as a carry on if you'd like. I don't see why it would be a problem. I took it with me onto a plane a few months back.

My daughter used it as carry on with her dachshund on a flight fromLA to MN. No problems.

I had it in the luggage so i did not put it my carry on but I'm leaning towards you might run the risk of it being taken. Also the size may Exceed the amount of liquid your allowed to bring on an airplane.

Yes. It's a perfect carry-on size. I have traveled with this with absolutely no problems.

I would say yes, on most planes. It is about the same width, a little less in depth, but the length is maybe a little longer than a standard carry on. It can be scrunched a little too. The carry case is convenient also.

Funny that you mention that, Why Yes you can. I flew United and Southwest after I got this and was my only carryon for some overnight trips.I had this pretty full with my laptop/books and a couple other things and it fits nearly perfect under the seat in front of me. P.S. I did have to show TSA how to open it when I went through security.

Did u try it as carry on? I want to carry my All IN One 22.5 " as carry on, hope it doesn't get rejected as the baggage size now is 22" limit, but the other 2 dimensions are very small, so i hope all goes well...

It is fine on regular flights (in USA & Canada). I believe it is advertised as their largest that fits standard size restrictions. I took it as carry-on on one trip, fit nicely in overhead bin.

You should be able to ... I've had not issues as a carry on on other airlines. Not sure about spirit airlines.

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

if it is overstuffed, it may be too long. I have had friends use theirs as carry on, but I did not attempt to. It is a smaller (higher than a chair back) pack and very lightweight though.

In my experience, yes. I have flown both domestic and international airlines (Southwest and United) with this bag as a carry-on (and packed pretty much full). It can get a little unwieldy and might be difficult to cram into the overhead compartments, but it does fit and I never had any trouble with the airlines or security about the size.

From what I have read it is. From experiance if your taking it as a carry on it needs to fit under your seat. I dont know what the guidlines are otherwise. But like I said it did say it was airline approved and that is why one of the reasons I got one just in case.
