I'm travelling to Japan for 3 weeks and was wondering if it would be able to be used as a carry on for United? Or would the Redwing 44 be better?

Depending on what they define as carry on. The back support brace and lower strap can be removed to better conform to the carry on guide lines.

I have not flown with it yet, but it might be a little bit on the large side if you had it stuffed. Also some of the more tighter older plane's might not let you use it for a carry-on and make you check it in.

I used it for carry-on on an international flight. Just be prepared to open ALL the compartments for inspection.

I've not taken on an international flight, but I took it on a domestic flight and it barely fit -- this was a small plane with only two seats on each side of the aisle. It doesn't fold or compress easily so it wont fit under a seat, but it would fit in an overhead bin. I did enjoy having it on the plane because it provided a firm supportive surface for my baby to sleep with out requiring me to support him with my arms.

Carry on would be fine. Depending on how you pack, it may need to go in the overhead compartment.

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 think it will fit no problem. You should be able to use it as carry on...

I bought this bag for my girlfriend. She has carried it on certain airlines that use bigger aircraft. Some of the regional airlines do not have room in the overhead bins, but you should be able to gate check it. Also, when I bought it, I am almost certain that it said that it was carry-on approved. Maybe some of the requirements have changed.

I'm just stumbling upon this now. I have flown with my rabbit on United on 14 flights. Only one flights attendant (on the last flight we were on) gave me a hard time. I just had to switch from the single seat side to the double seat side. On the regional jets (all the flights we've been on), it's tight, but it fits if you tip it a bit to get it in. You won't have much room at your feet. I'm traveling with her again next month and I'm a little nervous because of my last flight experience and also the recent crackdowns on carry-on bag rules.

I have personally carried this bag on flights a lot of times; for years I used it as my primary bag for international travel. There were a few times that it got flagged as too large, but most times I was allowed to carry it on. On some planes it was problematic trying to get it to fit anywhere. I recently downsized to the High Sierra Hawk 45 and have started traveling with it; so far the small difference in size has made all the difference. The Hawk 45 has not been flagged as too large, and it fit much more easily in overhead compartments.

It is fine on regular flights (in USA & Canada). I believe it is advertised as their largest that fits standard size restrictions. I took it as carry-on on one trip, fit nicely in overhead bin.

You have to get the carry on dimensions directly from the airline you are travelling on. They have this info posted on their websites. I believe though that it will be too large.

No you cannot use it as a carry on. to long even without the cardboard bottom. I just tried!!

I have had zero problems carrying it on a plane. It fits under some seats, but most of the time you will have to put it in an overhead, so the only real issue is a small plane with those tiny overheads. Still, I have fit it under the seat on a CRJ, both the 200 and 700.

I had the same question because I plan on flying with it in less than a week. I read that you can carry it on and tell them that its safer to carry it on because if there is any issue it can be dealt with. If it was in the hull of the plan any issue would go unnoticed and that's why it's safer to carry it on

Funny that you mention that, Why Yes you can. I flew United and Southwest after I got this and was my only carryon for some overnight trips.I had this pretty full with my laptop/books and a couple other things and it fits nearly perfect under the seat in front of me. P.S. I did have to show TSA how to open it when I went through security.

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.
