If this pack wasn't packed completely full, could I take it as a carry on on a plane? Has anyone used this pack as a carry on? Thanks

I have taken it on 3 major airlines from il to fl, nc, sc and wv. Just keep it in the allowed measurement and you should be ok.

Yes you can use it as a hand carry. I've just traveled to the Philippines last week and there was no problem with any carry on.

Not sure I can answer your questions as we no longer have it. Our boy out grew it a few years ago.I don't remember the size/weight of the box it came in. But I don't think you could take it as a carry on, maybe as checked luggage? Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I haven't actually flown with my bag, but I see no reason why it would not work fine as a carry-on. It would be best to ask someone who knows all the ins and outs of air carrier rules. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Yes, this bag can be used as a carry on backpack,with one caveat. I've only used on Southwest flights, and if you are sitting on an aisle seat, this bag will not fit because the carry on space on the seat in front of you on an aisle seat is about half the size of of the carry on space for the middle and window seat. For the other seats, this works fine as a carry on bag. This will easily fit in and overhead compartment on a plane as well.

In my experience, yes. I have flown both domestic and international airlines (Southwest and United) with this bag as a carry-on (and packed pretty much full). It can get a little unwieldy and might be difficult to cram into the overhead compartments, but it does fit and I never had any trouble with the airlines or security about the size.

I think it would be too big for a carryon bag if it was stuffed full. You'd better check with the airline on that one.

No, they will not let you. But you might be able to have it in your plastic bag that you show. Check how much liquid is allowed on the flight. I have had mine taken when I have flown. So I pack it.

You could probably compress it to fit into a large backpack so you could get it on the plane, but it would fill your carry-on "personal item." It is to large to actually use on the flight.

While I personally haven't used it as carry on, it should work fine. Check out these customer reviews:1510 Carry On Case (without foam)Good luck,Farmerkid

I tried to take similar packs in my carry-on and they were confiscated by security. Pack them in your checked bags and you'll be okay.

It can be carried on. I had mine at near full capacity and airline personnel accepted it as carry on luggage on international flights both going and coming, and they did not ask me to remove the backpack's metal frame. It fits well in the overhead compartment.

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.

I think it'd be much too big to bring as a carry on. I'm not sure I'd trust baggage handlers. I mean, it is pretty durable, but I've seen the way they pitch stuff around. It's durable plastic but still plastic. It's withstood us beating the crap out of it for 5 months.

Depends on the airline... It's a bit bigger than most carry-ons but that also depends how full you pack it!

Having done a fair amount of flying, I can tell you it would probably fit but it is too large to be considered a "carry on". If the pack was only half full and you were able to compress the bag then it might work.

Hi Kathi - I'm in Australia and it's too large for carry on luggage based on the carry on size limitations here and I'm guessing it would be similar for most countries so I'm going to say no it's not appropriate to use as carry on luggage.

Yes. It's a great pack but it's HUGE. I fell it's too big for everyday activities. Good for travel but some airlines will have check it in as it doesn't always overhead.
