Daypack/Airplane Carry On

[SilentCedars]

I have taken my kuiu divide 3000 as a carry on and it fit in the overhead bin just fine, packed with a tripod and spotter and some clothing too.

I like this pack as a day pack and airline bag

Did you take the waist belt off to use as a carry on?

I use the SG 2200 Avail

How do you like the Avail? Anything you don't like about it for airplane travel?

My only complaint is not having a stretch pocket for a water bottle.

I have been using Mystery Ranch 2DAP or 3DAP depending on what I am traveling with.

Ive used larger bags as carry ons plenty of times. Just dont stuff it full. Pack as much as you can and add when you get there

Been using an MR Pop Up 28 or Sawtooth 45 intermittently for 7-8 years without ever being questioned. All flights have been American Airlines.

I’ve been wondering the same. Have a hunt trip out west in November. Good feedback so far!

I used the pop up 28 several weeks ago and had no issue at all getting it under the airline seat.
I didn't put much in it, just my toiletry items, passport, wallet, earphones, etc.
I did not remove the hip belt, I made the straps on it as long as they would go, and wrapped them around the bottom of the bag (criss crossed) and buckled them together. this compressed the lower section.

I was able to get all my other hunting items in a roll on bag and my double bow case.
