Has anyone flown with this? What airline did you take, and did they accept this as your carry on even though it comes in two bags?

Dear skim, we have not had any of our customer carry our background support system on an airline. However it would be less expensive if you ship your item via UPS versus carry on an airplane. Our Background Support Systems were meant for local transportation. We do not have any hard case luggage that would by strong enough to protect from airline damage. Please feel free to call us if you have any further questions or inquiries at 1-800-495-8148. Regards, Alex G

I have used it before as a carry-on. Both domestic and international flights. You can unzip the daypack and have that as your "personal" bag.

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.

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!

The bag itself is rather long. 36"x17"x12" from what im reading. American Airlines limits for carry on luggage is 22"x14"x9". By paper you cannot take it on a plane. now it has been a while since I have seen my bag but I do believe I will fit, however I feel as though they will make you check it at the loading terminal if there are to many passangers or they see that it is to big. My recommendation would be to not to take it on a plane.

I just flew with it from Houston via Frankfurt to Bulgaria(March 1st, 2013). That was my big concern as well, but in Houston the Lufthansa staff did not even mention the size of the bag. The bag is solid and looks like it will be my travel choice for a long-long time.

I wound up leaving it at home because it seemed a transit hazard to anyone trying to get across you to get to the aisle in coach. Don't know if the Airlines have any specific policy, but figured it wasn't worth it's weight and space in a carryon on top of being a possible hazard. Lufthansa, for ex., only allowed 18lbs for carryon on transatlantic flight, and this weighed c. 2lbs.

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 :-)

Absolutely, I do it all the time! If you're still unsure my advice is to double check the airline's carry on restrictions (since some are different dimensions), and as a rule of thumb try not to over stuff it.

Question for the 2 people who answered, "Yes": Yes it can be taken on flights as a check in or Yes it has prohibited items per TSA?

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.

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

Mine is a little big for me to bring on the plane I need my two carry ons. I have seen people wear the smaller ones around their neck while walking in the airport. Which I will do next time.

I don't take mine when I travel, although I miss it! I take a smaller one that is not lighted since airlines have cut down on weight of bags. You could take it, I just don't.

I have not flown with this bag but I have used it for several months. I got the smaller of the two bags and it is huge. When filled to its capacity I have to believe it would be oversized. It is a large bag.

if you fly with it, don't check it, just carry on, both spirit air and southwest have allowed me to use this as a carry on, i tell them its an instrument and they are fine with it

It would be tough to write this off as a women's bag... I've brought this on with a computer bag and walked right on while everyone else with me at the back of the line had to check in their roller bags. With this on my back flight attendants don't even look twice. But it would be tough to pass as a handbag. if you are in a situation in which you will have this and a roller style carry on, I would assume your second carry on will get checked.
