Does anyone ever used this as a carry on in the airport? I'll need to transport my 8se in a flight, so I need to decide between this and the small.

I have the edge 11inch. Definitely not a carry one size. With your 8 inch case...what are the dimensions?

Do you mean put it in a carry on bag or carry it loose? Best to check with the airline. if It's shorter than the max bag length you could always bag it. I checked it when I flew.

I'd lay it flat on the bottom of your carry on and just pack right over it! It shouldn't take up too much room that way. I think it'd take up more space by being bulky if you try to fold it up. It's a GREAT tote! I take it on all my trips when we travel! One of the BEST I've found!

I've used mine on airplanes twice (Southwest, Delta) and is perfect for the cabin. The first time it was full so I had to take the smaller backpack apart, which fits great under the seat. The second time it wasn't as full as the first and both backpacks fit together on the cabin. I wasn't asked to check it. It's smaller than a lot of stuff people bring into the cabin. And it's very practical! I'm very happy with it. It has enough space for a 4-5 day trip plus several gadgets on the small backpack (I carry a 15.4" laptop, an ipad, kindle, iphone and all the cables).

Absolutely, it's smaller than a normal carry on luggage. It will fit under the seat at your feet as well. On some smaller commuter planes it won't fit in the overheads but it's always fit at my feet.

I have the smaller of the backpack and I used it as carryon luggage on my trip.

My husband travels with it all the time. It fits under the seat. He tends to have the middle seat where the under seat part is wider than the aisle seat. It packs a lot of his equipment for travel. He has enjoyed having the bag since he travels with a laptop also. It is very convenient for going through security.

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.

I have travelled with this case in the overhead compartments. Bear in mind that different airlines and indeed even different planes allow different size cabin luggage. I have had to put it in the hold on small planes (Dash 8) but they put that in individually, luggage was collected from me on the Tarmac and returned to me on the Tarmac, not actually checked luggage. On the larger planes it is no problem but you have to watch your weight limit!

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.

Have only taken this on a flight with delta. They are very particular with their bags. However this went in as regular carry on with no oversize bag fees. All you have to do is meet the weight requirement and try to condense it as much as possble.

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

In my opinion, this bag would be an appropriate size for a carry on. I would use it as such. I don't have the exact dimensions but, as it's soft sided, I'm not sure that the measurements would be overly helpful to you. I can only speak to US domestic flights as I have limited experience with international travel.

I have flown with it several times as a carry on. It is a small back pack, no problem carrying it on.

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

My husband actually took it on his last business trip as a carry-on, along with his laptop case. So, I'm guessing it would depend upon the individual airline's definition of a "personal item." I would think that as long as at least one if the two carry-on items can fit under the seat in front of you, you should be good to go. (He actually put the backpack in the overhead and kept Hus laptop case under the seat in front if him.) Hope this helps.

It has for me, I have flown with it on 2 trips w/no problems. Fit in all compartments and under the seat(did stifle leg room a bit). I used it for a 3 day trip to Hiroshima and this was the only bag I took. Worked out perfectly.
