Will this bag be confiscated if I use as carry-on luggage to planes?

I don't see why it would get confiscated.... But who knows, maybe they might think you have hidden fluid in the sides that contain the gel-like freeze pack substance.

Question for the 2 people who answered, "Yes": Yes it can be taken on flights as a check in or Yes it has prohibited items per TSA?

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 fly frequently and use a different brand of "TSA Friendly" backpack design. Not once (in the USA) have I been asked to take the computer out of the bag: OAK, SFO, PHX, TUS, ALB, PDX, LIH, JFK, SEA so far. I do have to remove it in Japan at NRT, but they apologize and everyone has to remove the laptop. Now that I have PreCheck I don't even have to unzip it and lay it out, the whole bag goes through.

Yes. Though I think it is about 2 inches longer/taller than the recommended carry - on luggage size, but I've used it as carry - on a few times without any problem

This is too big to be used as carry on. You can use it for checked luggage. I have travelled internationally with this and checked in this bag.

Hi Kathi - I'm in Australia and it's too large for carry on luggage based on the carry on size limitations here and I'm guessing it would be similar for most countries so I'm going to say no it's not appropriate to use as carry on luggage.

The answers are yes, and I doubt it, in that order. But you can bring it as cabin baggage quite safely. It fits in the overhead luggage compartment if you turn it sideways.

Yes you should have absolutely no problem with this bag being allowed on international flights.Let us know if we can help with anything else.Best regards,The Sharper Jacks staffhttp://SharperJacks.com

Absolutely, I do it all the time! If you're still unsure my advice is to double check the airline's carry on restrictions (since some are different dimensions), and as a rule of thumb try not to over stuff it.

while some US-Canadian airlines have different regulations, in general it does. I have never had an issue with boarding this bag as a carry-on. (never mind that I tell the airport staff, if I check it, then they are responsible for 10,000+ worth of equipment.) That does not mean that you will not have to gate check your bag as some regional jets do not have the overhead to handle a bag of this size. Also note the bag is not compliant with many non north american airlines carry on bag restrictions.

I just has one confiscated by TSA (9/2014) at New Orleans airport. Agent told me No knives in carry on luggage, checked luggage is okay.

I did not check it but had it folded in my baggage before using it. Most probably it could be checked as baggage, but I personally would not do it, because everything inside is visible and easy to take out.

I haven't actually flown with my bag, but I see no reason why it would not work fine as a carry-on. It would be best to ask someone who knows all the ins and outs of air carrier rules. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

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

Not recommended for baggage. Use a hard shell flight case if it is a valuable axe.

Can't take it on the plane as carry on but no problem with checked in luggage as told by TSA. Tried it with a cheap crimper and got confiscated. No big lost.
