We are looking to travel with this on a plane. Can it really be used as one of the carry-ons, or does it need to be checked?

I think this item would be too bulky for carry-on, probably would not meet airline size limits. I don't think I would check it, unless you can pack in large suitcase.

On a jet, yes. Not on one of those commuter planes. It looks like a duffel back when rolled up and can fit in the overhead, or at worst you can gate check it. We've traveled internationally with ours twice.

I wouldn't use this as a true travel bed. It's great to use as a place to nap or an extra bed for (toddler) visitors. Instead, I recommend the Intex Kidz Travel Bed for true traveling (by air or ship). The Leachco is good for traveling by car but too bulky (in my opinion) for other modes of travel.

It would have to be checked but usually there is no charge for baby equipment. I would check it in a big plastic bag (the airline ones) to protect it from water/grease etc.

Since we are not using it as luggage, I don't know if it meets tsa carry on standards. I would say you might check with Zuca as to their actual claims.

It's a small bag! I think you could take it as a carry on if you'd like. I don't see why it would be a problem. I took it with me onto a plane a few months back.

You can't gate check this. Not because of the product; because only strollers and car seats are "exclusion" items that don't count toward any bag limits and can both be gate checked. This is too big to classify as a carry-on bag that could be gate-checked as well. Nor would you want to lug this heavy thing through the airport. It can be checked with regular luggage at the ticketing counter.

I had it in the luggage so i did not put it my carry on but I'm leaning towards you might run the risk of it being taken. Also the size may Exceed the amount of liquid your allowed to bring on an airplane.

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

you can take the bag on the plane as a carry on the problem with that is if somebody stuffs their carry on into the same compartment, you may risk damaging your unit.

According to the Transportation Security Administration, you can have one in your checked luggage, but NOT in your carryon bags. It is one of several "Martial Arts/Self Defense" items that are prohibited from carryon luggage.

I haven't used at the airport but I would assume there wouldn't be an issue with this as it's easily available for inspection. I love the bag itself and am happy with the purchase.

As mentioned it has been allowed as a carry on. Keep in mind that if you "Gate Check" your carry on luggage (maybe you are in group 4 or 5 on a full flight and there is no overhead storage) it may be screened and treated as checked luggage. So your battery is best to keep with you in a computer bag or backpack.

Probably not (I don't have a full size suitcase so I am not positive), but I have flown with it. We put it in the synch up bag it came in and were able to check it like that.

I've never traveled on an airline with it. I use it for long distance car travel. Based on the size of it full, I wouldn't think it would meet luggage standards for airlines. If not full, it could fit practically anywhere. I guess it depends more on weight. If you packed it based on weight, it would meet the standards, and it wouldn't be nearly full....

I traveled with mine in my checked luggage, no problems! Follow the directions included and you're good to go.

Hi Linda, I have used it as a carry-on a couple of times. I didn't have any issues and I loved that I could used the top section for some overnight clothes. Of course, it got to be very heavy after a day of traveling, but that's to be expected.

I took it on a couple airplanes but my flight was international. When going from USA to Europe it fit in the overhead compartment no problem... On the domestic flight I can't honestly remember if it fit above me or under me... but if it doesn't then they usually take it and put it underneath (not with checked luggage just with other carry on bags that are too big to fit in the overhead compartment). I've done a lot of flying with a carry on more bulky then this and never had a problem.. So to answer your question I would think you will be ok with flying with it. Personally I wouldn't trust my computer in any other bag. I took it on a couple airplanes but my flight was international.

I did not check it but had it folded in my baggage before using it. Most probably it could be checked as baggage, but I personally would not do it, because everything inside is visible and easy to take out.

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.
