Has anyone had difficulties using this for a carry on on international flights?

Yes, I had to remove the day trip bag from the roller part of the bag an use it as my personal item. They would not let me leave it zipped to the roller part of the bag because of all the stuff I had packed. It would not fit in the bag size checker. But once I had removed it from the roller part of the bag, it was okay.

Absolutely not. You must unzip the pack for it to fit in the overhead bin. Then the items you may want are just under the seat in the day pack.

I've not tried to carry this one on the plane, as of yet, but a I did carry on a similar-sized bag to Hawai'i with no trouble at all. I was loaded down with my camera gear, a laptop, jacket, etc. and I had no hassles.

I have had zero problems carrying it on a plane. It fits under some seats, but most of the time you will have to put it in an overhead, so the only real issue is a small plane with those tiny overheads. Still, I have fit it under the seat on a CRJ, both the 200 and 700.

We have taken this on over a dozen flights and have never had a problem, even on regional jets. It is difficult to get down the aisle but works great on the plane.

I've only carried it on a couple of US Air domestic flights, with no problems.

Not for me... I am a frequent flier/traveler... the A&K; is stored in its leather case in my luggage... no problems in 1st year of ownership.

Yup.. I take it on planes even when fully extended.. The couple of flights that I took it on had the overhead bins connected to each other, so I think it overlapped from one bin to another. I can't remember though.. It depends on the airline and the size of the plane (I flew delta, and I had no problem at all)P.S. I was never asked to check it in.. I always take it as a carry on. You don't want it to get cracked

I recently took this item on a trip, on the way to the destination I had it in my carry on. on the way back I had it in my checked luggage. I had no issues with the product or the airline. I flew with Delta.

oh so sorry.. but I remove it from the box, unfolded and blew it up so quick that I'm afraid I won't be of much help...I do remember coming out of the box, it was folded very tightly and it does work great, of course, depending on what else you have going in your carryon it could take up more room that you can allocate for it...I wish I could have given you more of the answer you were looking for.

My experience is, Yes. I always have a carryon suitcase and this case for my Mac, etc. No problem so far.

I've flown with them domestically and internationally without any problems. I didn't pack them in a ziplock, just tucked in my carry on.

We have not ever tried to use it as a carry on, so I can't answer that part but we have checked it, fully extended & were not charged an oversize fee. Use zip ties in the extra holes, though, to prevent your rods getting broken should they decide to inspect it. It has worked out great for our offshore poles.

I've taken it in my luggage twice with no issues. Can't take on the plane in your carry on bag or in a pocket.

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.

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.

I have one that is about the same weight and have carried it on many of flights and when you have an additional carry on it is a bit of a pain and if you have to run all over god and country in the airport it does get heavy. If you fork out some money for a backpack bag that fits the larger screen you will be grateful you made the investment.
