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.

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.

I've used this bag as a carryon/my main travel bag for a number of airlines (american, us airway, southwest, airtran, and jetblue). Exception is when I flew Frontier. They made me check the bag.

We flew 2 flights with United and all was well. Because it is soft sided, we were able to have it fit. We flew domestic and international and it worked great. We used the disposable liners and that was good. Our cat travelled well and we were very happy with the carrier .

I travel for a living but I have never traveled with my pack as a carry on when flying. Judging from the size of the seats and the length of the bag I can safely assume the bag will be to long to actually fit under the seat.

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.

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

I have taken it as a carry-on several times... The problem comes if you are taking another carry-on besides the case, at least in American Airlines they only allow one carry-on and a personal item (briefcase, purse, backpack etc) and the case doesn't count as a personal item...

I assume you are talking about the top bag which comes off like a brief case or back pack. Yes I think it should fit as carry on and hold up to bring checked. I suppose the whole thing might fit in the overhead but would be an awkward shape to carry.

Depends upon plane? I've flown to Japan with it on KLM and found it did not fit under their very roomy seat. Nor does it fit under seat for Delta domestic flight. I will tell you it is a great gear bag, it locks and protects. However, it is TOO heavy to wear on your back with 1 camera, 2-3 lenses, strobe. I've realized I must pack a lighter " around town" bag as well if I'm going to be photographing an area. That or find a chiropractor! So, use it for travel / safety of gear.

I have had no problem at all on large planes as well as the smaller regional jets. It is the perfect size and very roomy inside. I have packed for an entire week for business trips using just this item. I highly recommend it. I have taken mine on United, Delta, American, JetBlue and have had no issues on the "puddle jumpers" too.

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.

I have had mixed experiences with this. Most of the time, I have been allowed to carry it own without an issue. I have once been told I had to check it - admittedly, it was stuffed completely full and it was an international flight. I have not had a problem with it fitting in the overhead space, but it will not fit under the seat in front of you. Agree with RF Zeiss, I think it is a great carryon. It's a terrific bag.

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.

Absolutely, I do it all the time! If you're still unsure my advice is to double check the airline's carry on restrictions (since some are different dimensions), and as a rule of thumb try not to over stuff it.

Hi. I travelled on several international airlines with this bag as a carryon and never had any problem with the size. However, I don't know about the US domestic airlines. Varies. Dont think it should be a problem. Still, I would double check on that. Hope that helps.

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...
