For online boarding, can you count this as a women's bag and still take on another carry on?

It would be tough to write this off as a women's bag... I've brought this on with a computer bag and walked right on while everyone else with me at the back of the line had to check in their roller bags. With this on my back flight attendants don't even look twice. But it would be tough to pass as a handbag. if you are in a situation in which you will have this and a roller style carry on, I would assume your second carry on will get checked.

I usually carry a medium size duffle and a backpack of about this size and I have never had a problem boarding with both, including international travel.

I'm not sure what did you mean by online boarding, but as long as your hand carry does not exceed the weight limit which is 7KG usually, you should be fine.

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?

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.

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

We always gate-check it (pink tag) without any issues. We never tried checking it at the counter but I wouldn't be surprised if it is considered oversized baggage.

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.

This bag is perfect for women's clubs. I can't see how it would work for men's.

In my experience, yes. I have flown both domestic and international airlines (Southwest and United) with this bag as a carry-on (and packed pretty much full). It can get a little unwieldy and might be difficult to cram into the overhead compartments, but it does fit and I never had any trouble with the airlines or security about the size.

Hi, I am a guy and used this bag with no issues. This bag looks fine for a man or a woman.

This is definitely big to be a carry on. To answer your question, no, it is not.

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

Sure you can, I've seen women use these as purses. It's really a shoulder shopping bag. I wouldn't depend on it to safely carry electronic devices, maybe a lunch or book for carry-on.

There is a small strap at the top, aka to hold via hand. it is possible depending on the handle size of the carry on. You could always use the shoulder straps around the wheeled carry on bag.

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.

My husband actually took it on his last business trip as a carry-on, along with his laptop case. So, I'm guessing it would depend upon the individual airline's definition of a "personal item." I would think that as long as at least one if the two carry-on items can fit under the seat in front of you, you should be good to go. (He actually put the backpack in the overhead and kept Hus laptop case under the seat in front if him.) Hope this helps.

I have not flown with it yet, but it might be a little bit on the large side if you had it stuffed. Also some of the more tighter older plane's might not let you use it for a carry-on and make you check it in.

I can put it in a woman's medium size purse and hand luggage. As for TSA their web site ask you to mention it upon arrival and/or bring a doctors note for verification.
