Would it be possible to comfortably or even uncomfortably fit this backpack under a seat white flying? United specifically?

It would if you don't fill it full....it expands nicely if would want to fill it...if you have the computer in the back and a iPad in the front compartment and a few papers in it you should be fine

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.

I would say uncomfortably at best. It really just depends how you stuff it. Mine is packed to the max and it's over a foot high when laid flat.
321312
Fully loaded it pushes the limits. It will fit but will not be comfortable if you are flying a small plane pending on your body size.
321313
Yes! I used this on many flights and as long as you don't over stuff the outside pocket it will fit very well! I also loved how easy it is to remove the computer when doing the baggage check at TSA check point!

I don't have personal experience trying to do so, but I believe it'd be possible. It's a bit longer (~1/2" - 1") and a bit wider (~1/2" - 1") than what they list as a limits for carry on personal items. The problem will be if the seat frame will accommodate these slightly larger dimensions. Because of the hard plastic laptop compartment, the bag won't flex or squish down any smaller length-wise or width-wise. I'd say roll the dice and worst case you'll end up having to gate check it. It'd be worth it for peace of mind that nothing will crush your laptop when its in this bag as far as I'm concerned. I don't have personal experience trying to do so, but I believe it'd be possible.

Absolutely. Fits very easily under a seat or in overhead. The best carry on I've ever had. Took it overseas to UK from US and great storage, travel and usage.

generally yes, of course depending on how full it is stuffed. the only place i;ve had some trouble is on aisle seats of some aircraft as there is less room under aisle seats for bags than center or window seats.

I have not been on a flight yet, but I would not expect it to be a problem. It will fit under your seat in my opinion!

I have never actually tried but my guess would be not very comfortably since the back "wings" are pretty wide.

No. The metal frame is too rigid and big. You'll also have trouble on most overhead bins. I take a soft side pack on planes.

I wouldn't stow underneath. Far too risky. I had a fairly small plane with mine and it fit in the overhead. You could always ask one of the air stewards to store it on the plane. Sometimes they have bigger lockers for bigger items. But dont risk checking it under the plane.

Well, it's definitely not FAA approved for carry-on since it's too big to fit under the seat. Depending on the size you get, I have no idea otherwise....

I think so but it would be very tight. I returned this backpack immediately as it was very small.

Under seat in a small plane? Probably not. I fly with my bag usually in the overhead bin on a large plane. Sometimes it will fit under the seat in front of me, but it extends a bit. If the flight attendants want it really under the seat, or if you're tall and need leg room, this doesn't work well. Sony had an excellent video where they showed the features, and a guy was packing it. I've had two of these type bags and LOVE this one. Compact, but well-designed. Water bottle pocket on the side is one of the unique features - and it may sound funny, but it's great. Dimensions: 12 x 9 (11 if you count the straps) x 19. I've also used a CaseLogic bag that I liked very much. Tried the Sony because of that water bottle pocket and the get-the-camera-out-of-the-side feature. The Sony is smaller, as well. Good luck in deciding. SJ

Yes, it fits under an airplane seat perfectly. I am coincidentally travelling while this question popped up, and took Skip hop grand with me.
2084637
Definitely. I travel with it regularly and haven't had any trouble. Fits nicely in the overhead or under the seat.

I am sorry I did not try to place under an airplane seat, I would guess yes if its not to full.

Sure, it fits under the seat just fine and if you didn't want it at some point, you could stuff it back into its pouch and carry it in your larger carry on. Works great as a supplemental under seat bag for things you need on the flight.

Quick answer: Yes. Details: I just flew coach to Washington state from Texas (and back) last month. I put a 15.6" laptop, power cord, mouse, notebook, graphing calc, airport-approved toiletries, and a big Michael Kors "Jet Setter" handbag INSIDE this backpack. It was a tight squeeze for the big purse, but better than carrying it separately. Even with all of that stuff inside, it fit under the seat in front of me just fine.

We did not try. We put it in the overhead. I do not think it would fit under the seat if it was fully packed.

It's not something I'd put under the seat in front of me (but I could probably make it fit if I didn't have much in it), but, it will easily fit in the overhead compartment (even when "full"). Unlike the rigid "refrigerator-sized" bags you see most people carry-on (to avoid being charged) these days, this bag does not have rigid sides so it can easily be squashed to fit into smaller pockets.

Hello,The only time I tried it I was in a small airplane and there was one seat next to mine. Most of the bag fit but it went into the other passengers leg room slight, maybe only an inch or so. If I was on the other side of the plane, with only one seat, I'm not sure it would have fit. The gentleman sitting next to me didn't mind so I didn't have to move the bag but if someone really complained, you may need to put it overhead.
