Can I use this bag as carryon? I realize it doesn't fit the dimensions for many airlines.

I have used it before as a carry-on. Both domestic and international flights. You can unzip the daypack and have that as your "personal" bag.

I have the Farpoint 65 and I can't imagine trying to carry it on - it's huge! As you said, it doesn't fit the carryon dimensions, and the sides are too rigid to try to squish it down and make it look smaller. I don't understand how other people carry theirs on . . .

Yes. It fits American Airlines and Vueling Airlines (European Flights), even when my friend was forced to check his Gregory pack.

Yes! I have been all over the world with mine and never had any issues with overhead bins and never been asked to check it.

I've used this as my carry on. If it's full, it can still fit under the seat in a coach/economy section of a plane. But it puffs out a bit so it takes up some of your leg room/foot space. I am 5'1" so this didn't matter much for me and I used it as a foot rest. So it will fit, just don't stuff it to the gills.

I have had mixed experiences with this. Most of the time, I have been allowed to carry it own without an issue. I have once been told I had to check it - admittedly, it was stuffed completely full and it was an international flight. I have not had a problem with it fitting in the overhead space, but it will not fit under the seat in front of you. Agree with RF Zeiss, I think it is a great carryon. It's a terrific bag.

Yes. For example, United Airlines allows carry on's that are 22 x 9 x 14 or less. This bag qualifies!

I would say yes, on most planes. It is about the same width, a little less in depth, but the length is maybe a little longer than a standard carry on. It can be scrunched a little too. The carry case is convenient also.

I would imagine not. The width would be ok,but it would be too long. You should double check with the specific airline for measurements though.

No problem. I haven't had any airline, including Delta, ever tell me this bag was too big to carry-on.

It's not something I'd put under the seat in front of me (but I could probably make it fit if I didn't have much in it), but, it will easily fit in the overhead compartment (even when "full"). Unlike the rigid "refrigerator-sized" bags you see most people carry-on (to avoid being charged) these days, this bag does not have rigid sides so it can easily be squashed to fit into smaller pockets.

Dimensions from website: 11.42" x 6.10" x 6.69" It's a little tight to fit under, but if you're willing to wiggle it in for a bit, it's doable. I don't know if it is technically "too big" to be considered a carry-on, under seat bag (such as on Frontier airlines), but I managed to squeeze it in. Just don't pack the clothing compartment too full. Hope this helps!

The bag has a large capacity. So, of course, the fit depends on how much you put in it. I have not tried to take it on a plane as a carry on, so dimensions have not been tested.

It folds in half so I would think so, but I don't know the size requirements of airlines these days. If it's Southwest, it might be a little wider than that small window they have you put your bag through. But the weight shouldn't be an issue.

I don't see why not. Haven't traveled w/ it yet. My assumption is that due to size and weight you might pay an "oversized bag" fee w/ the airline but I'm not 100%. Contact who you plan to fly with and ask. Think about it, you can travel w/ the oversized golf bags that are hard plastic or nylon/cloth. Good luck.

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.

It should be fine as a carry on but might may be a bit bigger than some of the overhead bins. Id have to double check the exact length

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.

Yes it can be used as a carry-on for air travel. About a laptop- It can fit the laptop long ways for sure plus still hold accessories but it depends on the size of the laptop from top to bottom. I sent mine back for reasons that do not apply to your situation so I cannot measure it for you but it is a good deal for the price. Maybe someone else can tell you the size from top to bottom if they can just take a minute to get a tape measure and see..
