Anyone had any luck bringing this (38L) as a carry on on an airplane?

Personally, no. But a friend of mine took his on Hawaiian airlines and was fine. Just be careful to not cram too much stuff and overpack it especially the height part of it.

I've always carried it on planes overseas and domestic. you won't have any problems

I've only ever done so when flying with Emirates, but they didn't have any issues with it. It won't fit under the seats like a smaller backpack might, but it works in the overhead bins just fine.

You have to get the carry on dimensions directly from the airline you are travelling on. They have this info posted on their websites. I believe though that it will be too large.

I have not taken it on an airplane, but it is very close in size to a rolling bag I carry on quite often. As a side note it is a very well constructed bag, just wish it had more small pockets for gear.

Absolutely. I have carried it on over 30 flights in the last year. Never a problem.

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.

From my experiences the bag may be a little big to meet the airlines requirements for carry-on luggage. Each airlines post thier size restrictions online; may be helpful.

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

Sorry for the delay I just saw this. This could be a carry on but the straps could be a problem.

I have not tried it as a carry-on, but it is smaller than other items that I've taken to a plane as a carry-on.

No problem taking it on the plane. It fit fine, but some problem with it flipping to the side during a long flight.

I have taken it as a carry-on several times... The problem comes if you are taking another carry-on besides the case, at least in American Airlines they only allow one carry-on and a personal item (briefcase, purse, backpack etc) and the case doesn't count as a personal item...

I think it'd be much too big to bring as a carry on. I'm not sure I'd trust baggage handlers. I mean, it is pretty durable, but I've seen the way they pitch stuff around. It's durable plastic but still plastic. It's withstood us beating the crap out of it for 5 months.

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

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

Its not oversized. Period. Ive traveled with it. As long as its weight is within limits, most airlines will take it.

Carry on would be fine. Depending on how you pack, it may need to go in the overhead compartment.
