I'll be flying EasyJet for one leg of my trip and the allowed dimensions are bit tighter. Would I be able to squish this pack from 22 to 19.5 in?

Yes! I've flown with it several times and it's perfect for those short flights and small planes!
1053278
Definitely. There are two sets of clips for the compression straps, the right set can compress it down to the size of a briefcase if you need to. I fit a week's worth of vacation clothing under the seat of a Delta 737 (using the bundle method)

I flew EasyJet with this duffle and it worked out perfectly. I could have easily been lucky, too, depends on the person checking bags. I imagine if you don't stuff it to the brim, like I did, it should be a safe bet. Highly recommend for a carry-on bag that fits a lot.

I wouldn't put more than 20lbs of gear in this pack. This pack is really only meant for day excursions.

I will fit over one of the smaller day packs easily. We have not tried it over a full sized pack.

The dimensions on the one I purchased are 14.5 X 5.5 X 11. Should be no problems on plane if you asked question on the correct item. I think the 17 dimension is corner to corner.

Five inches thick is going to be tight, but it just might fit. I have long board bags and they are fairly roomy without being sloppy. I am going to say probably yes. You can contact the company with any questions and they will get back to you. Nice guys, really.

Not very easily. You need about two feet of leg room and a foot and a half width and unfortunately, most planes don't have that much room. Plus, it doesn't fold up and would be bulky to carry in my opinion.
1529563
I'd say yes, as long as you don't need lots of "wiggle room". This is the best bag I've ever had...super light, and sturdy....

I would recommend the small sack 7" X 16", 10L down to 3.3L, it would give you some flexibility.

No, it is not flexible. It will break if you try to bend it. It is approximate 24 inches across, so it would depend on your carry on bag. It was shipped in a fairly large box to protect it. Hope that helps.

I fly Southwest too, and have fit this under the seat in front of me. Mine is usually not stuffed to bursting, though. If you had it completely full, you would probably have to shove the bag pretty hard to get it to fit.

The bag is about 17 to 22 inches long. It will fit in a tight fitting space. But it is heavy due to all the great gear inside. We stuffed ours into a small secure "cubby" space in our home. It won't squish too easily either, because it comes packed full. Best bag we've bought for our money! Wither emergencies or bugging out, we think it's great. Hope this helps.

I don't have personal experience trying to do so, but I believe it'd be possible. It's a bit longer (~1/2" - 1") and a bit wider (~1/2" - 1") than what they list as a limits for carry on personal items. The problem will be if the seat frame will accommodate these slightly larger dimensions. Because of the hard plastic laptop compartment, the bag won't flex or squish down any smaller length-wise or width-wise. I'd say roll the dice and worst case you'll end up having to gate check it. It'd be worth it for peace of mind that nothing will crush your laptop when its in this bag as far as I'm concerned. I don't have personal experience trying to do so, but I believe it'd be possible.

This zipper operates like those found on the rain flaps of tents or the expandable portion of soft sided luggage or duffel bags; it operates nice and smoothly until you begin to round the corners. It's really not a flaw but just the nature of the beast. When the direction of the pull changes it naturally creates a bit of a "bunch" in the two perpendicular sides which will grab if you don't pull the "bunch" out just a bit. With a bit of finesse you can follow the curve with wrist motion rather than make an abrupt square movement and it will never give you a problem. As far as the size, ours is 39" across and 22" tall. I believe that we purchased the large. The seller had multiple sizes available at that time. I hope this helps!

I would not chance it. It is too soft to face the airlines and too big for carry on.

It would be a tight fit. It might would fit if you positioned it from bottom corner to top corner of the bag, that would give you a few more inches of room.

Hi Ryan! The answer is "yes". It depends on how you pack it. If you don't mind rolling up the jeans you could fit all three across the bottom, shirts on top of the jeans and other gear on top. That's not even opening the extension bellows! A good rule of thumb is "if you can fit it into a large shoe box 12 or 13's, it will fit in the excursion." I have in mine a set of rain gear, first aid kit, sneakers, bike tools, and I-pad and still have a lot of room.

Would be a very tight fit, no room then for much else. If that is what you have to have might want to go a little bigger bag.
