I'm going abroad for 10 days. Is this a good bag for travel? I already have a carry-on bag so this one would be checked in. Thanks!

Depends on how you pack. For me it does the job perfectly. It holds my clothes, documents (waterproof case inside), emergency gear, snack pack and toiletries.

It would be, its very big, youd be able to fit a small child in it. Shouldn't have a problem with multiple changes of clothes including shoes. side pockets could easily hold any shower gear/chargers for electronics you might wanna bring, but don't pack breakables... Bag can hold maybe 50+ lbs...

The answer to this is... it depends... It will work fine as a carry DEPENDING on how much you pack in to it. It you stuff it as full as it will stretch, it might be a bit too large. But if you're packing for a two day trip or something like that, I would think you'd be fine...

I recommend these ones (eBags packing cubes, 3 pc set, small-medium-large). I used them on a 2-week trip in Europe. The 3 of them fit nicely, and I was still able to put a toiletry bag in as well. http://www.amazon.com/eBags-Packing-Cubes-3pc-Titanium/dp/B0013KBVHM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1393253821&sr;=8-1&keywords;=ebags+packing+cubes

I took this bag on a 5 week trip and had a bunch of clothes, computer, and extra shoes in it. I did not have a problem with space or with straps ripping, but it was not carried for long periods of time. It usually was thrown in a van with everyone else's bags. It felt sturdy.

This bag is perfect for travel, but I use it all the time because I only have the camera body/regular lens & a zoom lens & I can fit it all in the bag, along with a spot for battery, misc. I love it.

I'd say so. I have a 15" and had to add a few inches of padding to keep it from sliding back and forth. I travel a fair amount ( a couple flights a week) and this bag is holding up better than any bag I've owned. Sets easily on top of a roller bag so its one-handed through the airport. Plenty of pockets to keep even the most OCD happy.

This is too big to be used as carry on. You can use it for checked luggage. I have travelled internationally with this and checked in this bag.

it's really a laptop briefcase rather than a travelling bag. I guess if you limit yourself to an extra shirt and set of unmentionables and your toiletries are fairly minimal it would work fine. if you need a second biz suit, you're probably out of luck.

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.

I think its too big for a carry on bag. I suggest you get a heavy insulated lunch bag. Maybe one that has built in gel packs

No - it would be a great carry on. You would be able to have your laptop too. Worth the $oney. I used it as a 3 day trip on Motorcycle. Great.

I guess it depends on how much equipment you're lugging around. It's a smaller gym bag than most use but it's deep and actually holds quit a bit. I used it travel for 5 days and it held all those clothes, shoes, toiletries, etc. I think you'de be safe but I guess you're the only one who can make that determination. :)

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.

I'm a bit late but just wanted to contribute as well. I've had this bag for about four years now. It's been to about six countries, many plane cargo holds and airports, and who knows how many beaches and sketchy modes of transportation. It's still in perfect shape and I am confident I will be using it on many backpacking trips to come. I consider this to be one of the most reliable purchases I've made.

Hi there. Europe sounds like a lot of fun! Here's the deal with this product as I see it. Good space, good comfort. Lots of pockets for your essentials. The problem as I see it is that there is no bottom zipper to get to the goodies you may store there. There is a mid range pocket that I suppose was made to take the place of the bottom entrance, but in my opinion is not as good. Again, good space and weight distribution for 2 week excursions, maybe a little more if clean clothes are not your priority. Hope this helps. Hit me up if you have any other questions.

I fly frequently and use a different brand of "TSA Friendly" backpack design. Not once (in the USA) have I been asked to take the computer out of the bag: OAK, SFO, PHX, TUS, ALB, PDX, LIH, JFK, SEA so far. I do have to remove it in Japan at NRT, but they apologize and everyone has to remove the laptop. Now that I have PreCheck I don't even have to unzip it and lay it out, the whole bag goes through.

You might be better off shipping it to your destination. It is too big to carry on so if you have to pay for checked bags, just mail it instead.
