what if any difference is between this one and the older model? also, is size in packaging reasonable for going on a plane as an extra bag?

I'm not familiar with older models, can't help you there. As for taking on a plane as an extra bag, it's fairly large and heavy, so I would say no.

I don't know about the difference in models but this would be rather a large box to add as an extra bag. If someone is getting it out of town I would have it directly shipped to home.

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.

Hi. I travelled on several international airlines with this bag as a carryon and never had any problem with the size. However, I don't know about the US domestic airlines. Varies. Dont think it should be a problem. Still, I would double check on that. Hope that helps.

Of the camera backpacks I have seen, this is a larger one. This is more like a full sized backpack. Despite its size, I find it incredibly comfortable to carry. It is small enough that I can just fit this under the seat in front of me on a plane. Let me know if there are any other comparisons I can make for you on the size.

The one you are looking at, is the model 24, at least from the picture. If you visit 511 there are three sizes in this same model style, you can compare and they are the 12 24 72. The number referrs to the amount of gear you can pack i.e. for half, full and two day trip. Since you seem to be looking at the 24 best guess is they only sell the 24, see The 511 website for additional model information.

Definitely. I use it this way all the time and it has worked for both the smaller airplanes as well as the larger. It is a great bag for traveling.

The big difference I see is that this one is made to fit an ipad or 13 inch laptop. If you don't need to carry those i would get the other one.

Hi JakBat. I bought mine to come back home from Texas after Christmas this year. I have to carry my laptop for work while I am gone. It is the perfect size for Delta Airlines, which I am flying - make sure to check Airline specs - they are all different. It is very lightweight, has lots of compartments for storage of your cables and other items. The pull-out, airport friendly laptop bag just fits my Dell 17" screen computer. I am using it to only bring back one change of clothes in case of an overnight delay, but it could easily fit more. I have not flown with it yet, but I have used it twice now just for weekend travels and it works great. It has a place for everything. It rolls smoothly and if not too over packed (which airlines have a limit - I believe Delta is 40lbs) it should be very easy to fit overhead. Hope this helps.

Airlines differ, but since the smaller size for this bag shows as 26" long, I don't think so on any airline. The duffel has a semi rigid back, so its not squashable length-wise

I don't know the difference between the two bags. This bag is bigger than my last bag, but I use a golf cart so it doesn't matter. Love this bag it looks good and has more room.

Unsure which bag you are comparing to so difficult to compare for you. I can say, I have had this bag for about 8 months and am pleased with quality and functionality. I would make sure to purchase it filled!!! They pack bag correctly and evenly. I would even pay the extra to have them pack it!!

From my experiences the bag may be a little big to meet the airlines requirements for carry-on luggage. Each airlines post thier size restrictions online; may be helpful.

Hi Sue! I strongly suggest the TETON Sports Scout3400. It's the perfect size for a carry on so long as you don't over-stuff it. In fact, that's one of the things I like about it so much. You pack it to fit within the carry-on restrictions and then you have a little extra room for things that you purchase along the way. If you check out the 100's of reviews, you'll note that many talk about using it as a carry-on. Anytime you get over 100 reviews with the vast majority being 4 and 5 stars, you know you have a winner. I love mine (green) and my husband loves his (orange). I'm 5'4" and he's 5'10".

I fly every week and this is my "under the seat" bag. You could probably overfill it so it would not, But I pack mine pretty good & have yet to be on an airplane it would not fit under. The smaller CRJ & Embraer have no problem. In fact it will fit on the short side, 1st class overhead on an Embraer 175! Surprising, some of the larger airplanes have a lot going on under the seat & sometimes the Molle straps get caught up, but it has always fit. it is the perfect size for just this use. I only fly with a tablet & there is more than enough room in the Hydration pouch for a 10.1". My 15" laptop even fit in there, it is tight, but it fits. The nice thing is, if you use the hydration pouch and put the zippers all the way down, they are hidden behind the strap, so it hard to notice the compartment is there, let alone for a thief to get in!

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.

I got 3 sizes, the smallest is about 12-15". the largest may be about 25". I would put my carhartt artic bibs, coat, steel toed boots, gloves, hat, and still have room. With all this it would barely fit in the overhead in the plane. The large bag is more heavy duty and the smaller is light nylon. Small bags are more for organization. I wouldn't recommend putting your dog in it especially a St Bernard.
