airplane carry-on capable?
348581
I have not taken it on an airplane, but it is very close in size to a rolling bag I carry on quite often. As a side note it is a very well constructed bag, just wish it had more small pockets for gear.
348582
Yes, sometimes i have to take out second computer, but i never had to remove wheels.
348583
Yes, it is. But it's close to the limit. Goes in most overhead bins. If they are checking size, just pull out the rolling handle and the softside backpack fits with no problem.
348584
Absolutely. Make sure that you check the foot - pull it forward to ensure stability.

On small planes I always have to gate check it, but have had no problems with damage. I have had to remove the wheels and my laptop to get it small enough to squeeze into the overhead, so be prepared to do this before you board so you don't hold up boarding like I did.
348586
Yep. Took it to Israel and Jordan. Taking it to Romania this year. TIP: Once you get where you're going, remove the wheel assembly to make it more comfortable on your back. Then put them back on to roll it later.

Yes, as long as you don't stuff it too much. On smaller airplanes (like the Dash 8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_Dash_8 or the Embraer EMB 120 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_EMB_120_Brasilia) the bag will not fit and they may require check-in.

I have not tried it as a carry-on, but it is smaller than other items that I've taken to a plane as a carry-on.

I used it for carry-on on an international flight. Just be prepared to open ALL the compartments for inspection.

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.

Yes, I have used it as a carryon with my electronics with no problem on domestic and international flights. The small farpoint 40 can be used as a carryon and I find myself being more efficient at packing and use this bag more.

You should be able to carry it on the plane. It's 35" long in its case. For the total linear length and weight it should be okay. However each airline is different I'd call the airline and ask

Sorry for the delay I just saw this. This could be a carry on but the straps could be a problem.

I have not had the opportunity to travel on an air plane with it. It would fold up pack wonderfully, with it's velcro strap and nice and handy bag but whether it would make it through security, I'm not sure. Bon voyage!

Unlikely. I believe it will be too large but you can double check by getting the max allowable dimensions from the airline you are flying.

Probably not. But it could be a carry-on. The storage bag is handy and easy to carry.

NO! Check the airline's overhead measurements for carry on's. I am sure it is too large. Good luck!

About 54 inches. Don't think it would be allowed as carryon. And doubt it would survive the belly of the plane. Might better to plan to buy a "cheap" umbrella when you get down there-- and forfeit it when you leave. Most resorts have beach umbrellas for their guests.... Not sure where you are headed to, though..

It is not bulky at all once the air is out of it. You can make a flat circle of pretty much any diameter you want. Yes, you could put it in a carry-on, no problem.

I have carried it as hand luggage in international flights (Brazil-USA, Brazil-Angola) and regional flights in Brasil. So far, no problem.

On a jet, yes. Not on one of those commuter planes. It looks like a duffel back when rolled up and can fit in the overhead, or at worst you can gate check it. We've traveled internationally with ours twice.

I would call the airport/airline. It is free to check a stroller at the door of the airplane, so I would see if they would acknowledge the backpack there as well... it is definitely too big to be considered a carry on. Good luck!
