I'm travelling to Japan for 3 weeks and was wondering if it would be able to be used as a carry on for United? Or would the Redwing 44 be better?

Depending on what they define as carry on. The back support brace and lower strap can be removed to better conform to the carry on guide lines.

This is a very large box. You certainly could not classify it as carry on. I see that YoYo.com gave you the measurements.

This size is too thick for airline carry on regulations. I have flown locally and internationally and have not been refused. There have been times when I had to insist it was okay. BS. and got away with it. Lately, airlines have been stricter on carry on sizes so I've had to downsize to avoid hassles. Again. I haven't been refused, yet. But, it's a risk as technically the dimensions are too large.

I used this carrier in December 2012, so that was prior to the changes put into place by American and United. At the time, I was able to use this carrier on American with no problems. I would suggest checking with the individual airline because I know that United's new carry on policy states that pet carriers "are allowed and do not count toward your one bag and one personal item limit."

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.

Funny that you mention that, Why Yes you can. I flew United and Southwest after I got this and was my only carryon for some overnight trips.I had this pretty full with my laptop/books and a couple other things and it fits nearly perfect under the seat in front of me. P.S. I did have to show TSA how to open it when I went through security.

On one domestic flight I was fine; on another they insisted I "valet check" it. I did, but I wasn't thrilled. I'm sure it was stored somewhere that was way too cold. It is really too long for the standard carry-on dimensions. It's a shame because it is so narrow it takes up very little room in the overhead.

I'm not familiar with older models, can't help you there. As for taking on a plane as an extra bag, it's fairly large and heavy, so I would say no.

From what I have read it is. From experiance if your taking it as a carry on it needs to fit under your seat. I dont know what the guidlines are otherwise. But like I said it did say it was airline approved and that is why one of the reasons I got one just in case.

I travel for a living but I have never traveled with my pack as a carry on when flying. Judging from the size of the seats and the length of the bag I can safely assume the bag will be to long to actually fit under the seat.

I flew Southwest and AirTran last week, carried it on, no problems. Fit in the overhead with plenty of extra room to spare.

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.

Should be fine as carry on. None of the measurements are over 45 inches.http://www.travel-wise.com/tw-flight-guide/packing-faq/luggage-restrictions/size-and-weight.aspx

Technically yes. Although you will find that it is about 1/2 inch too long to fit into the overheads on many planes. Jetblue is fine, but I have had trouble on United with their 757s 737s and of course any smaller commuter plane. It will fit into the overhead sideways, but then you are more likely to get into a situation where you will have to check it. You would be much better off getting the airport takeoff as it is a newly designed bag and is slightly smaller. I use my bigger airport security for non air travel and when I fly, I use the takeoff. It always fits, and in a pinch will even squeeze under the seat. Technically yes. Although you will find that it is about 1/2 inch too long to fit into the overheads on many planes.

Hi, It worked well for my two sons on a 10 day backpacking trip in New Mexico and on long trips. I have the Red Cloud and really liked it as well. The external pockets are great an easy to access. The belt, chest and back straps worked wonderfully. It is well made and quite durable. It should easily handle what you need it for. For transatlantic flights, I would recommend putting it in a large duffel bag to protect the straps and zipper etc.

You should be able to carry it on the plane. It's 35" long in its case. For the total linear length and weight it should be okay. However each airline is different I'd call the airline and ask
