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.

Don't know for sure but wouldn't want to take the chance that they would confiscate it. Since in can think of no reason anyone would need it during a flight I would play it safe and not take it as carry-on. Now that I think further you could loose it either way. I would check with NTSB. If it were essential that I have it at my destination I would mail it ahead. Dang! Can't depend on that either!!! Sorry.

you can take the bag on the plane as a carry on the problem with that is if somebody stuffs their carry on into the same compartment, you may risk damaging your unit.

I've had this on the plane with me several times and never had a problem with it being a carry on. It fits under almost all seats on the plane too.

I have not flown with it yet, but it might be a little bit on the large side if you had it stuffed. Also some of the more tighter older plane's might not let you use it for a carry-on and make you check it in.

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 would say yes as long as you don't have it packed extremely full I haven't flown for a while, but I wouldn't think it would be a problem.

Did u try it as carry on? I want to carry my All IN One 22.5 " as carry on, hope it doesn't get rejected as the baggage size now is 22" limit, but the other 2 dimensions are very small, so i hope all goes well...

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.

Not having needed to take it with me on a plane I really don´t know. This being a small and light object I don´t see any problems taking it on board. However, the practice may vary from airline to airline, so I would contact the company in advance. I certainly wouldn´t accept carrying it in the luggage compartment, only with me in the passanger cabin!

Yup.. I take it on planes even when fully extended.. The couple of flights that I took it on had the overhead bins connected to each other, so I think it overlapped from one bin to another. I can't remember though.. It depends on the airline and the size of the plane (I flew delta, and I had no problem at all)P.S. I was never asked to check it in.. I always take it as a carry on. You don't want it to get cracked

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.

I used it as a carry on, both domestically and for international travel.It is also helpful to have the correct pack cover.

No you cannot use it as a carry on. to long even without the cardboard bottom. I just tried!!

There isn't as much room as you think, but it is expandable. The main issue is when you expand the air bladder, it takes up a lot of room. Don't get me wrong, I love this pack and it does expand. I have used it for many day trips even amusement parks. I don't think you'll be disappointed with it. The only problem is if you need a lot of storage. I love mine. My 2 cents.

It's a great pack. However, a pack will only hold so much gear. So in reference to will it hold enough for a two week thru hike, put only the essential things in the pack. I have used this pack a number of times and I love it.

I have taken it on planes a few times, and was never questioned about its size. If you absolutely pack it to the brim, I can see how it may not fit in the overhead bins in smaller planes (just guessing - I never encountered the problem as I don't stuff these). HTH
