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'd say xlarge might not make it thru for carry ons, but good for checking baggage

Honestly, I haven't tested it. However, all airline use 40 lbs as their "normal" bag limit. Thus I would assume ANY Mfgr would test for a Minimum of that amount, and probably more. If you need to know specifics, Google the Mfgr and ask the for their Max weight limit. Believe me, a 40 LB Babis some heavy and clumsy. This products major weakness with a bag of similar weight would be "side-to-side" movement. If your expecting frequent and/or heavy usage, I'd suggest upgrading to a stronger, and more costly design. Hope this helps.

I have personally carried this bag on flights a lot of times; for years I used it as my primary bag for international travel. There were a few times that it got flagged as too large, but most times I was allowed to carry it on. On some planes it was problematic trying to get it to fit anywhere. I recently downsized to the High Sierra Hawk 45 and have started traveling with it; so far the small difference in size has made all the difference. The Hawk 45 has not been flagged as too large, and it fit much more easily in overhead compartments.

Based on my experience-absolutely! I fly between Seattle and San Francisco monthly and always take this bag (with my purse inside so I can also take my rolling laptop case). I put in on my back and roll my laptop case in as well. It will fit under the seat as well as the overhead bin. I fly Virgin America, Alaska, and Southwest. No questions and no problems. You will not regret getting this bag.

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

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

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.

You know. it doesn't look that big so i will say YES! I've been traveling for a while. and the size is smaller than normal carry on luggage. I would recommend you put it on the overhead bin though. I wouldn't count on it as a "purse" type. I've been hiking with it. and i love it so far~ ^^ I hope that helps

In my opinion, this bag would be an appropriate size for a carry on. I would use it as such. I don't have the exact dimensions but, as it's soft sided, I'm not sure that the measurements would be overly helpful to you. I can only speak to US domestic flights as I have limited experience with international travel.

it's about the size of a medium backpack. i used it as my second carry-on. with the top folded over properly, and almost full, it was about a foot in diameter and maybe 18" long (cylindrical tube shape). so, yes. it qualifies.

Yes. You can carry this bag on any airline. It might not fit in the overhead compartment of the smaller regional jets if fully packed, but is approved.

Its a great comfy bag if you have a lot of gear, but it will get heavy if you load it up all the way. It doesn't look that big on you if you yourself are somewhat big. I believe it will fit into the carry on, its smaller then the small carry on suitcase.

This thing is probably 3-4 times larger than what is allowed for carry on luggage. The size given in the description is 30" X 50".....so check with your airline and see what the maximum allowed carry on size is. Most of them are around 45 linear inches. This thing is 160 linear inches.

No. The bag will not be too big. You should be fine, if you are at an average weight.

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

Yes it is, I just flew American Airlines and United with it. And to be honest none of the airlines really care because it's a soft bag so it can squish under any seat and the people at the airport never really measure those.
