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!

It's not something I'd put under the seat in front of me (but I could probably make it fit if I didn't have much in it), but, it will easily fit in the overhead compartment (even when "full"). Unlike the rigid "refrigerator-sized" bags you see most people carry-on (to avoid being charged) these days, this bag does not have rigid sides so it can easily be squashed to fit into smaller pockets.

Might be a little smooched so if your pet is small it might be ok then once the place gets up just pull it out a little inbetween your legs but the carrier is flexible so as long as your pet doesn't take up the whole carried and it has a good amount of room left over I think it should be fine. I'm comparing it to a bag I just brought on a plane as a carry on that fit under the seat semi smooshed

Yes it will but it depends on how much you put in it because it's a very big bag. I got it for my baby's diaper bag for long flights as well.

It's perfect for that use. It may get a little banged up on the flight, but you can carry a lot. I used them to move abroad, and I'm very happy with them.

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.

I have not used it in that way, but it will definitely fit underneath the seat in front of you!I am guessing that there is information available on your air carrier's website.

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.
2041935
Yes it would. Although this bag didn't work for me as a diaper bag, I think it would be an excellent bag for a long flight.

I'm not certain what you mean. If you mean is it legal to carry electronic items like this onto a plane, I have no idea, since those rules change constantly now. You'd have to call or email the airline and ask for their list of "no-fly" items. (If you can't bring a small bottle of shampoo or hand lotion on flights now, I honestly have no idea how to judge what they will deem as against the rules anymore.) If you are wanting to know if it's a good travel size, it is. It folds neatly and doesn't take a ton of space in your bag. It works well and I've had no problems with mine. I use it a few times a week and have had it for awhile now. I hope that helps.

I *think* so. Your makeup would jostle around inside unless you packed it with some padding or something of the like. It would certainly fit in the overhead and I believe that it would also fit under the seat. To be sure, you should take a look at the dimensions in the product details and compare it with the dimensions of the under-the-seat storage of the airline with on you will be traveling.

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.

It might depend on the type of plane you are flying on. I usually fly SWA and have never had a problem fitting this bag under the seat. It works well because there are flexible bars that go over the top of the bag keeping the bag from smooshing our loved ones. I definitely recommend this bag when traveling with my cat!

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.

Yes, it fits just fine under a seat. I've used it a few times now when flying, and there's never been a problem.

It is heavy and would take up all the room in your huge suitcase. I would not buy this for that. I would try something lighter weight.

If it's not packed to the gills, then yes it fits. If it's your only carry on and it's full, it's huge. I travel with mine, but I wouldn't want to rough up the leather too much by shoving it under a seat, so I just set it on the floor in front of me or in the space between the seat and my calves.
