I took my large kitty over to Europe but I was flying Delta. I picked the seats ahead to chose exact one to have a bit more room. I mean the bag fits under the seat during the take off and landing that's what is most important, but it is not good to keep the animal squished down for the whole flight so I upgraded to Economy Comfort class picked last row in front of the restrooms, so I could put the bag on the floor behind me comfortably after the take of. Oh and I modified and shortened the bottom board from 20" to 18" it fits better between the legs of the seats if there are any (depends on the type of the plane). When you take the bag from under the seat your pet can use the whole size of the bag again. Hope it helps, but do your research on the plane you are flying to pick right seat, there are seats that have more leg-room than others, some have legs between each seat some have legs every other seats which is better.

I've taken this bag multiple times on a 737 and it fits perfectly under the seat laying down on its side. There is no room to the sides. I've yet to take it on smaller planes.

Yes, as long as you don't stuff it too much. On smaller airplanes (like the Dash 8 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_Dash_8 or the Embraer EMB 120 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_EMB_120_Brasilia) the bag will not fit and they may require check-in.

I used it for carry-on on an international flight. Just be prepared to open ALL the compartments for inspection.

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.

I had it in the luggage so i did not put it my carry on but I'm leaning towards you might run the risk of it being taken. Also the size may Exceed the amount of liquid your allowed to bring on an airplane.

I have carried it as hand luggage in international flights (Brazil-USA, Brazil-Angola) and regional flights in Brasil. So far, no problem.

I have flown with it several times as a carry on. It is a small back pack, no problem carrying it on.

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 fly a lot for work on American (on MD80s and 737s) fits fine. I typically have my laptop, iPad, chargers, and toiletries that won't fit in my carry on.

I bought this bag for my girlfriend. She has carried it on certain airlines that use bigger aircraft. Some of the regional airlines do not have room in the overhead bins, but you should be able to gate check it. Also, when I bought it, I am almost certain that it said that it was carry-on approved. Maybe some of the requirements have changed.

Yes the material and designed of the bag is made for traveling. It is well worth the money paid, the most bang for the bucks Had one like it and with heavy use and age it was time to get a new one. Go for it you won't be sorry. I was impressed with the quality of the material, the price paid and it arrived at my door before it was expected.

Hi JakBat. I bought mine to come back home from Texas after Christmas this year. I have to carry my laptop for work while I am gone. It is the perfect size for Delta Airlines, which I am flying - make sure to check Airline specs - they are all different. It is very lightweight, has lots of compartments for storage of your cables and other items. The pull-out, airport friendly laptop bag just fits my Dell 17" screen computer. I am using it to only bring back one change of clothes in case of an overnight delay, but it could easily fit more. I have not flown with it yet, but I have used it twice now just for weekend travels and it works great. It has a place for everything. It rolls smoothly and if not too over packed (which airlines have a limit - I believe Delta is 40lbs) it should be very easy to fit overhead. Hope this helps.

Yeah, I brought it with me to/from Korea & China and it fit just fine. I kept it under the seat of the person in front of me, not in the top compartment. However I'd be wary of how much you're loading the bag with. I was carrying about 30lbs of clothing & camera equipment and the strap ripped after about two months of continual usage. For a $60 bag it's great, but even though it looks like a $300 bag, don't expect the same level of quality. Hope this helps!

Yes, it's great. I carry my laptop, a binder and weekend clothes and carry on. My only issue is that the bag will not fit on the smallest jets, that check it as you are boarding, so I put laptop in a small neoprene case to carry on the plane with me in the few times it has been an issue.

Have only taken this on a flight with delta. They are very particular with their bags. However this went in as regular carry on with no oversize bag fees. All you have to do is meet the weight requirement and try to condense it as much as possble.

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...
