Has anyone used this bag while flying, and if so, has the airlines charged you for oversized baggage?

I have not taken it on an airplane; only to and from the field. It is quite large; I'm guessing there would be a baggage fee.

I fly frequently and use a different brand of "TSA Friendly" backpack design. Not once (in the USA) have I been asked to take the computer out of the bag: OAK, SFO, PHX, TUS, ALB, PDX, LIH, JFK, SEA so far. I do have to remove it in Japan at NRT, but they apologize and everyone has to remove the laptop. Now that I have PreCheck I don't even have to unzip it and lay it out, the whole bag goes through.

Have only taken this on a flight with delta. They are very particular with their bags. However this went in as regular carry on with no oversize bag fees. All you have to do is meet the weight requirement and try to condense it as much as possble.

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 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 have travelled on several planes with the chair in its bag without any problems. Just tell the airline that you will be travelling with your own wheelchair when you make your booking or when you ask for airport wheelchair assistance and then simply check it in with your luggage. The airlines have never made a charge for the chair and it is always in addition to your personal baggage allowance. The actual measurements of the chair in its bag have never been mentioned.

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.

I don't see why not. Haven't traveled w/ it yet. My assumption is that due to size and weight you might pay an "oversized bag" fee w/ the airline but I'm not 100%. Contact who you plan to fly with and ask. Think about it, you can travel w/ the oversized golf bags that arehard plastic or nylon/cloth. Good luck.

Yes, we've only flown on Southwest with our Large SturdiBag and have had no problems at all. The one thing you might find depending on the plane you're on is that you may have to tip the bag to the side to get it to fit between the seats. To get it to slide under the seat, you have to push down on the top, but it pops back up once you get it back as far as possible.

If you're traveling spirit airlines and dont want to pay the carry on fee, this bag is too large. I've carried on this bag no problem on Delta and AA for no charge as it fits easily into the overhead bins because its squishy

Personally, no. But a friend of mine took his on Hawaiian airlines and was fine. Just be careful to not cram too much stuff and overpack it especially the height part of it.

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...

I'm not sure about taking it on the plane. I checked it as didn't want to be bothered storing luggage. When full it is quite large. You will have to check the airlines guidelines about size.

It is BIG to be stowed in the overhead compartment. The size of this bag will have to be checked in. As far as the "excessive size charge", you will have to check with the airline you are flying in.

NO! Check the airline's overhead measurements for carry on's. I am sure it is too large. Good luck!

In my experience, yes. I have flown both domestic and international airlines (Southwest and United) with this bag as a carry-on (and packed pretty much full). It can get a little unwieldy and might be difficult to cram into the overhead compartments, but it does fit and I never had any trouble with the airlines or security about the size.
