Has anyone used this product as a carry on for travel?

I have not. Whether it would be suitable or not would depend on what you are putting in carry on.

They have a wide enough opening that it wouldn't be an item to store in overhead bins However, it would be a very useful bag to stow in a purse or pack to use to put items you picked up along the way.

It's really just a grocery bag, except not plastic. If you would carry around a plastic grocery bag, then I guess you would carry this around, too. I have used them on trips for carrying odds and ends.

I would say the shoulder strap is a bit short and the over all size a bit small for my likings. The bag is more geared to keeping with you in a back pack or handbag as a shopping sack. I used it during our trip to the UK to carry groceries from the market, spare shoes etc.Etc.

No - but I can't see why it wouldn't work if you needed some place to stash a book, sweater etc.

Sure you can, I've seen women use these as purses. It's really a shoulder shopping bag. I wouldn't depend on it to safely carry electronic devices, maybe a lunch or book for carry-on.

I bought the bags for a gift. When waiting at a shopping line, you can toss them around to kill time while waiting.

Hi Linda, I have used it as a carry-on a couple of times. I didn't have any issues and I loved that I could used the top section for some overnight clothes. Of course, it got to be very heavy after a day of traveling, but that's to be expected.

I have not, but I plan to since many past reviewers said they had no trouble bringing it in their carry-on backpacks.

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've checked it in luggage a few times without issue. Not carry-on though. I put it in a ziplock back in case pressure were to cause any leaking, but I do that with all liquids in checked luggage.

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.

It should be fine as a carry on but might may be a bit bigger than some of the overhead bins. Id have to double check the exact length

I think it'd be much too big to bring as a carry on. I'm not sure I'd trust baggage handlers. I mean, it is pretty durable, but I've seen the way they pitch stuff around. It's durable plastic but still plastic. It's withstood us beating the crap out of it for 5 months.

I think this item would be too bulky for carry-on, probably would not meet airline size limits. I don't think I would check it, unless you can pack in large suitcase.

It has for me, I have flown with it on 2 trips w/no problems. Fit in all compartments and under the seat(did stifle leg room a bit). I used it for a 3 day trip to Hiroshima and this was the only bag I took. Worked out perfectly.

Hi,Thank you for the email and interest. The Backpack should fit as a carry on luggage on Airplanes, whether under seat or overhead. Good Luck.

Yes it is. I have travelled so far in many international flights including Europe and US and I always had the bag as carry on with no problem.Actually it is a bit bigger than 17' laptop case with the plus that you can put a lot of items. Watch out the weight

Yes but it would nearly fill a standard carry on. It fold up rather stffly. The polymer fabric is tough but not ver flat folding. With some carefully executed folding you could get it compact.

i did just that. used it as my carry on on a domestic flight to veil co...though as it is also my normal camping pack i checked and double checked that i hadn't left a knife or magnesium stick or anything "dangerous" inside. *edit* seeing the other comment i wanted to clarify, i flew out on American Airlines, and returned on Continental. so i know it fit in their o'head compartments

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

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

I've put it in a backpack and carried it onto a plane and didn't have any issues. Your mileage may vary, though, depending on how pissed off your local TSA reps are by the time you get there.
