Will the backpack count as a personal item for flying with Delta? Or would it be too large? And is the computer area padded all the way around, including the bottom?

The laptop area does have padding all around. I frequently ridden the bus with my laptop in it and no problems. I have flown on Southwest and American with the bag and have had no problems as it does fit under the seet and in the overhead with few problems but have never flown dela with it.

I don't know about taking it on the plane... but it is padded all the way around not a thick pad but enough to keep safe, I wouldn't be dropping it all the time

I dont think the specifications on this size back pack would meet airline standards for a carry on. Its a little large for that. But who knows? You could get lucky

Yes. It is padded and roomy enough to carry laptop.My son likes it very much and has been using it for about 3 months. He also carries his binders and high school books in this. backpack.

A laptop might zip up in there. It's not padded like a laptop backpack. I use mine for HVAC work. I'm pretty rough on my stuff and it seams to be very durable. I can measure it for you tomorrow

This backpack will fit up to 15" notebooks, maybe even a little bigger. There is a compartment in the back part, consisting of some nylon fabric, not just straps.There is not much padding though, just a sheet of polypropylene inside the back I guess.The back itself has some padding for comfort, but this is not the most protective laptop bag Pelican offers, that's for sure.That said: I put my MacBook Air 13" in there during travel and I have had no issues. But then I do city-tours, not outback-hiking.

There r different sizes to their messenger bags. Mine expands pretty big if I need it it can fit my laptop and a change of clothes easily. It'll b snug under a seat but it would fit. I've brought it on lots of flights.

I am almost certain this would have to be checked in. The pictures don't give you a true idea of how big this case is, it's a monster. I have not been on a flight in about 6 years, and I don't think this would be allowed as carry on, but I could be wrong. Please let me know if I can be more help. I did a lot of research on this case and others, and buying this case was a little bit of a gamble, but so far I have no regrets buying it.

Sure it's plenty big. It's not padded though for laptops. I love all the compartments for swimming gear.

I just received the professional gear back pack and I can tell you that the entire bag is only 17in. tall as measured from the out side. As best as I can measure the inside lap top compartment, I can only safely say that it is 16 1/2in. tall and only 10 1/2in. wide. Given a 1.75 in. thickness for computer, it would be at tight fit for anything close to 17in. Therefor I would recommend nothing larger then a 16in. lap top. Steve.

Yes it is padded along the sides and bottom. Actually pretty good padding. And the cover of the backpack is a kind of canvas which helps as well. Good backpack.

Yes, it's plenty big enough to hold your gear. However, it's just a regular backpack. It doesn't have any kind of padding on the inside, so you'll want to protect your electronics to keep them from getting banged up.

Yeah, I got a random email saying someone replied to this. Did a slight double take. =) It certainly would have helped me before I bought it. I'm actually alternating between this bag and a 15" Swissgear Maxxum backpack I modified to fit my HP dv7 depending on how much I'm carrying. When I've got several heavy textbooks, a backpack is so much more comfortable than a messenger.

I enjoy Solo products. I went form the Classic to the Executive case. You will not have a problem with a 14", 15.6" and even without using a computer case a 17" laptop will fit. For all your legal documents, pens, glasses, passports, plane ticket, you will not a problem based on there is extra room in the handle section. As for aircraft seating it will fit with no problem, that is where I put mind when I travel, but remember you will be taking some leg room away so you're going loose a little comfort. This case still surprises many people how much office material it can handle.

Yes. The bottom of the backpack is well cushioned as is the rest of the compartment where your PC is stored, with the possible exception of the very top of the compartment on the inside of the bag. It seems and feels very secure. You shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Maybe. It would be a tight fit at best. This is more of a business backpack for your computer, some files, power accessories and that kind of thing. I never pack clothes in it.

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.

No, the backpack doesn't have a padded PC compartment. If you have a full-sized PC (mine is 17"), it would barely fit in the backpack. I bought a padded sleeve for my PC and plan to put it in the rolling part if I really want to take it along. NeedlEcon
