I am flying to the place where we will begin our cycling trip. Can I stow under the seat or overhead? Is it durable enough to withstand checking it?

Empty and with the plastic reinforcements out, you could almost store it in you coat pocket. Packed full, It should fit overhead. It is a little too tall to fit under seat. And the top section comes off of the bottom section. It makes it a little easier to fit in.

I assume you are talking about the top bag which comes off like a brief case or back pack. Yes I think it should fit as carry on and hold up to bring checked. I suppose the whole thing might fit in the overhead but would be an awkward shape to carry.

I have used mine on multiple flights since purchasing. I have stored in both in the overhead and under the seat in front of me.

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.

Hello - I've never taken this on an airplane, but from what I have managed to get under the seat, this pack is too long. Also, if full, it will be too wide. I take things out of it to get it into the long locker at my gym (YMCA), if that's any help. From what I have seen people put overhead on the plane, it would certainly fit overhead.

The top will adapt to being put under a seat in a plane but it holds it shape very nice! I'm very happy with mine it also comes with a nice warm little Sherpa bed inside for added comfort for your pet. You won't be sorry if you purchase this.

I have taken such bikes in the soft nylon duffle bags and checked them as luggage. 3/4 times everything was fine, 1/4 (Southwest Air) banged it up, bending the chainring a bit. It still works. If there were a way to make a same size cushioned/stiffer bag, then I would say it would be fine.

I have had no problems putting it under a seat on domestic or international flights. It does tent to get caught on flap for the front pocket so I slide it under the seat upside down to avoid that.

Yes, this definitely fits under an airplane seat. I've taken it on three flights and haven't had any issues.

I can't quite believe this question - surely it would be too heavy with gear inside it. I would be horrified if it was in the overhead locker above me - one bump and the door opening and it could be a nasty shock. Don't even consider it for the sake of fellow passengers, buy a light weight suitable suitcase on wheels.

Hello Jarrad. I have traveled with it now for some months. It is fairly durable. It's a little bulky for my comfort and doesn't sit on my hips too well (5'3" 120 lbs) . But, should do the job fairly well.

I haven't used it on a plane as of yet. However, I don't see it being a problem. I will be taking mine on my trip in September.

Yes, it is hard luggage so can be checked. I think it better for overhead carryon however.

I flew Southwest and AirTran last week, carried it on, no problems. Fit in the overhead with plenty of extra room to spare.

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

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.

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.
