I am flying to Europe and want to use this as an under seat "purse". Will it work? Or is it too long?

Based on the other response I felt I should add additional information. I consistently fly Spirit Airlines who is notorious for small seats and extra fees. The Talon 22 will fit under the seat without a problem. I taken it onto a plain fully loaded and had no problems.

The pack as a semi-rigid padding that is nearly 20 inches from top to bottom and about 12 inches wide. So, start with those measurements as the "footprint" of the pack. The thickness will depend on how much you try to stuff in it. I think it will probably fit in the underseat area if you don't overfill it. If you're unsure, you might look at the Talon-11. It has many of the same features, but is significantly smaller. My own preference is for the Talon-22, it has extra padding in the shoulder and waist straps and an ability to adjust the torso length that makes it more comfortable to wear. Between the two, I would 'make' the Talon-22 fit, but that's me. The pack as a semi-rigid padding that is nearly 20 inches from top to bottom and about 12 inches wide.

I think it should be fine as an under seat purse...might work well as a pillow too!

Wow, great question.. It might be too wide but then again, I carry mine around like a briefcase. Maybe order it and try it at the airport in that size thingie. If it doesn't fit, send it back. I like mine... Very sturdy.

I have flown a few times using this bag as a purse, in addition to a carry on item. No problems so far!

I've used this as my carry on. If it's full, it can still fit under the seat in a coach/economy section of a plane. But it puffs out a bit so it takes up some of your leg room/foot space. I am 5'1" so this didn't matter much for me and I used it as a foot rest. So it will fit, just don't stuff it to the gills.

Its a fairly stiff bag and I don't think it would fit under the airplane seat well. I own the Argo petscope and that is made for going under an airline seat

Don't have the time to measure the bag BUT it is exactly the size of a standard size backpack. I honestly believe the width of the pack would fit but it's going to be too thick to put under the seat. I have tons of stuff packed into mine. I went to Europe last summer and it was a godsend to store all my stuff in one spot.

Based on my experience-absolutely! I fly between Seattle and San Francisco monthly and always take this bag (with my purse inside so I can also take my rolling laptop case). I put in on my back and roll my laptop case in as well. It will fit under the seat as well as the overhead bin. I fly Virgin America, Alaska, and Southwest. No questions and no problems. You will not regret getting this bag.

We did use SturdiBag large size for our international travel. For soft sided bag as Sturdibag, size especially height limitation can be flexible and if it is approved or not is depend on the manager we see at the airport. We researched how other SturdiBag users worked around it, and followed their suggestions. When the manager showed concern about the height, we immediately demonstrated how collapsible the bag can be still there is a room over our dog lying down. It worked and once we have record that we used this bag in our flight, then next flight has no problem. Indeed, it is light weight and well made bag. Our dog spent long international flight without any discomfort under the United's narrow under the seat space. In addition, we chose Economy Plus seating, which also helped assuring we have enough space to fit the bag in.

I think it's a little large for under your seat, a better choice would be a klein canvas zippered bag, (depending of course what you choose to put in that bag of course)

Yes, it's actually the size of the EU standard which is even smaller (with one or two inches) than the US standard, so it should be ok even on European low fare airlines.

Definitely. I use it this way all the time and it has worked for both the smaller airplanes as well as the larger. It is a great bag for traveling.

Dimensions from website: 11.42" x 6.10" x 6.69" It's a little tight to fit under, but if you're willing to wiggle it in for a bit, it's doable. I don't know if it is technically "too big" to be considered a carry-on, under seat bag (such as on Frontier airlines), but I managed to squeeze it in. Just don't pack the clothing compartment too full. Hope this helps!

Hi , I think this would be too big to put on your lap, but would work perfect if put on floor.. but actually not that much room on flights, so I don't think it would work very well

I think that it is longer than is actually authorized and it won't fit in all overhead compartments. Every time I've tried, they've allowed me to carry it on and stow it in the cabin but you might have different luck.

Yep, I traveled all over Europe and the USA with it. I stuffed it full and it still squeezed under the seat

I suppose it could depend on the airplane, but mine was full on a trip to Florida and back, and it fit under the seat in front of me without any problem.

Yes it can be used as a carry-on for air travel. About a laptop- It can fit the laptop long ways for sure plus still hold accessories but it depends on the size of the laptop from top to bottom. I sent mine back for reasons that do not apply to your situation so I cannot measure it for you but it is a good deal for the price. Maybe someone else can tell you the size from top to bottom if they can just take a minute to get a tape measure and see..
