Air travel? The size with the day pack compartment is exceeding the airline size requirements. Did any one have any problems? Did you have to check in

I've used mine on airplanes twice (Southwest, Delta) and is perfect for the cabin. The first time it was full so I had to take the smaller backpack apart, which fits great under the seat. The second time it wasn't as full as the first and both backpacks fit together on the cabin. I wasn't asked to check it. It's smaller than a lot of stuff people bring into the cabin. And it's very practical! I'm very happy with it. It has enough space for a 4-5 day trip plus several gadgets on the small backpack (I carry a 15.4" laptop, an ipad, kindle, iphone and all the cables).

We have not had any problems with airline baggage size requirements, although it is fair to say that we did not pack much into the day-pack.

I had not problem with this pack. I travelled with this bag as a carry on to four different countries. The trick is not to pack the "day pack" with things when you take is as a carry on. So that way it do not look too wide. Also if that so you can always detach the day pack and put it under your seat or carry it as a personal item.

I just detach the day pack once I get on the plane and it always fits in the overhead bean even on small airplanes. Never had to check in.

I didn't have any problems but I did most of my travel in South America. Also it depends on how full you have the backpack portion.

Yes. Think it's actually better to do that. Otherwise the airline sees a big bag and makes you check it in as oversize luggage. This may have just been our experience with a particular airline but we were not happy to pay 100 euros!

Yes. It's a perfect carry-on size. I have traveled with this with absolutely no problems.

I believe it's too big to be approved as a carry-on. Width wouldn't be the problem but the height.

Yes. It's a great pack but it's HUGE. I fell it's too big for everyday activities. Good for travel but some airlines will have check it in as it doesn't always overhead.

i can't give U a simple Y or N 'cause: (1) i did not try to take it aboard the plane in my carry-on & (2) re the suitcase I checked, the "thing" was empty as I did not fill it until i arrived in south america where i filled it prior to boarding the cruise ship (which does not allow "spirits" 2 B brought on-board. it went through the ship's version of TSP just fine because they did not do a full body scan nor a pat down and it was in my jacket pocket & I was not required to send my jacket through the scanner. nevertheless, i thick the quality of the "thing" looks fine & i had no problem with any leakage, so I plan to use it again and again. suggestions: put the "thing" in your carry-on & not on your carry aboard luggage as i don't think it would make it through an airport TSP check, which only allows a max of 4 oz; consider filling it only 1/2 full to minimize any loss due to discovery; wait to fill it until U R at your destination & not boarding a plane but rather a cruise ship or attending a concert or whatever, and don't put it in your backpack which is more likely to be searched than your jacket or crotch or whatever. hope this helps a tad. abe

I would say no, cause its really big, it states 40x20x10 full but you can stuff it bigger to about 41x22x14. check with the airlines for the over size limits

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

Did u try it as carry on? I want to carry my All IN One 22.5 " as carry on, hope it doesn't get rejected as the baggage size now is 22" limit, but the other 2 dimensions are very small, so i hope all goes well...

Yeah a flight in the US shouldn't be a problem the size was too big for European flights but domestic should be fine I had to put in checked bag on flight internationally

Hi Linda,I take on the plane all the time and never had a problems the 5 or so years that I've had it. It is small enough to fit in the overhead compartment with other stuff on top of it too.

I have been using it for a year. No problem with flights. The right size to go with u.

Absolutely! I fly mainly on the major carriers and have no issues fitting over-head or under the seat. Regional type jets can be hit or miss on the over-head compartment size, but no issue under the seat. Going through TSA is a breeze as I'll typically stuff wallet & phone in the outer side compartment....unzip the laptop compartment, roll up my belt into the shoes and let it roll through the scanner. No bins needed! Easy pickup, zip up on the other side and I'm off and running.

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.

This size is too thick for airline carry on regulations. I have flown locally and internationally and have not been refused. There have been times when I had to insist it was okay. BS. and got away with it. Lately, airlines have been stricter on carry on sizes so I've had to downsize to avoid hassles. Again. I haven't been refused, yet. But, it's a risk as technically the dimensions are too large.

It all depends on the Airlines, below is a link (Or google: "pelican case + airline checked baggage limitations" ) if Amazon drops the provided link.The short answer is, this appears to be classified as "Over Size".Coreyhttp://www.pelican.com/airline_allowance_large.php
