Is this bag small enough to be considered a handbag by the airlines, or would I have to consider it as my carry-on bag?

Yes I believe it is. Even when I've got it stuff with gear including a Gorilla Pod, it looks like a big purse.
1682644
From one who has traveled on the airlines a lot: Yes, this is the size of a large handbag--absolutely a personal-sized bag (unless of course, you're already carrying another handbag or personal bag)
1682645
Considering the actual size when bag is full loaded, 17LX11WX11D. I could say as a handbag, Yes!

Hi Emmy, it is smaller than a lot of the handbags I've seen. If your not carrying an obvious "purse" I think they would just let it go as your purse. I really love mine for travel.

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'm pretty sure this would be able to be considered a personal item. I bet it would fit under the seat in front of you. Sadly I cannot find a dimension-specific description for the personal item, but I bet it will. As long as you don't over stuff it, or fill it with too many of the dividers, it should squish into that spot under the seat.

I have flown a few times using this bag as a purse, in addition to a carry on item. No problems so far!

It would definitely fold, but it's a bit bulky. It would probably be the only thing you could fit and it would be a tight squeeze at best. You may want to check and see if your airline allows a garment bag instead of a carry on and use a larger purse for other essential items.

On some planes yes- but I've been on flights where the bag will not fit. I've been on some delta flights with aisle seats that have a smaller segmented under seat sections or the seat in front has a power hub - on those seats I can barely fit my purse under the seat. If you don't have one of those restricted legroom seats then yes the bag will fit.

Its a great comfy bag if you have a lot of gear, but it will get heavy if you load it up all the way. It doesn't look that big on you if you yourself are somewhat big. I believe it will fit into the carry on, its smaller then the small carry on suitcase.

I assume you are talking about the top bag which comes off like a brief case or back pack. Yes I think it should fit as carry on and hold up to bring checked. I suppose the whole thing might fit in the overhead but would be an awkward shape to carry.

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.

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.

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.

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

Probably not carry-on size, but might fit in a standard size if you took apart and ran it diagonal inside the suitecase. It is quite easy to disassemble.

Mine is a little big for me to bring on the plane I need my two carry ons. I have seen people wear the smaller ones around their neck while walking in the airport. Which I will do next time.

Its dimensions are 34 x 19 x 10 inches and it weighs 44.2 pounds (more than one person's baggage allowance) so I would say it is not appropriate as checked baggage. I suggest you ask your prospective airline.
574912
Yes. For example, United Airlines allows carry on's that are 22 x 9 x 14 or less. This bag qualifies!
1683737
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
2258272
Not really. I believe that airline carry-ons should be no longer than 22" and this is 26" with a semi-hard bottom. I don't think this bag is designed to be a carryon.
857412
Yes, that's why I bought it. I've carried it on many times, no problem. It is small enough it will fit any airlines carry on restrictions.
1488087
Yes. It's about the same size as my carry on. Just don't pack it to tight in the outside pockets.
