Is it likely that this backpack can be taken on a plane as a carry-on luggage item?

It depends on how much stuff you pack in it but more than likely you will not be able to use this as a carry on.

Having done a fair amount of flying, I can tell you it would probably fit but it is too large to be considered a "carry on". If the pack was only half full and you were able to compress the bag then it might work.

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

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

I'm not sure it would be considered a carry-on for all airlines. Your best bet is to look at the carry-on requirements for the airline(s) you're interested in and then compare it to the specs of this bag. Keep in mind that airlines change the carry-on requirements all the time, so it's not always guaranteed that you can carry this bag on. When I used it to go to Europe, I didn't have any problems on Delta or Easy Jet carrying this bag on. It helps that it is very flexible.

I don't think so unless it is a very large piece of luggage. I would box it up and either ship it or see if you can take it on the plane.

Personally, I wouldn't try to use it as a portable item. Granted, it is not heavy but it is bulky and takes up quite a bit of room. If you were to use a larger backpack, it might work.

I've never traveled on an airline with it. I use it for long distance car travel. Based on the size of it full, I wouldn't think it would meet luggage standards for airlines. If not full, it could fit practically anywhere. I guess it depends more on weight. If you packed it based on weight, it would meet the standards, and it wouldn't be nearly full....

The backpack, when filled, is small and would easily qualify as a carry on item on any airline. I use the backpack for bicycle riding in the northwest during the winter when it can rain at any moment. It keeps my stuff dry, no matter how bad the weather gets. Lastly, I intend to use this bag as a waterproof liner inside another small backpack to protect cameras, etc when I take an international trip later this year. I will be carrying it onto the airplane with me.

While I personally haven't used it as carry on, it should work fine. Check out these customer reviews:1510 Carry On Case (without foam)Good luck,Farmerkid

Yes. Its one of those backpacks that looks small, but seems to carry more then you would expect. It would fit nicely under a airline seat.

I have flown with it several times as a carry on. It is a small back pack, no problem carrying it on.

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.

No I don't think that u would be able to fit it in a suit case or as carry on for a plane, it is pretty big

Sure can! Really great bag. If you travel a lot. Carries your computer, files, toothbrush and a change of clothes. Lots of pockets to get you in trouble with the TSA. Got tens of thousands of miles on mine. Little dusty but still stout.

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!

You should be able to carry it on most airplanes but you should always check with your carrier first. It is rugged enough to check as checked package for sure. Just invest in a lock.

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 :-)
