Customer Review: Would not comply for Carry-on
My daughter used this for an 11 day trip to London/Scotland. Although this item was great when it came to weight, and flexability (you can use as suitcase with a side handle or backpack) and there is plenty of room, with the suitcase not fully extended the airline would not allow her to carry on.
Customer Review: Good. don't bother with expandable
took this around oceania for a month and it survived - fairly durable despite the lighter weight fabric. I had to make sure it was half-full to fit into the smaller asian airlines 18" carryon standards (by always wearing the raincoat and holding the laptop as I boarded) - but once on the ground again I would stuff them in and put it on my back and pickup my rolling checked bag. ("light" wasn't an option with a 3-yr old in tow, but we were able to hike ourselves onto public transport and have a hand left to hold hers). In hindsight I was never able to take advantage of the "expandable" option, so if I had to do it again I would go with his non-expandable bag if everything else is the same. pretty comfortable on back even loaded - although not a little small for my 6'2" 210# body (and anything under 30 pounds doesn't feel that heavy no matter how poorly designed it is)
