I used my avial 2200 as a personal item this past summer on 4 flights, no problem. It fits pretty well under the seat.
This summarizes it as best I could. Only thing I’ll add is your boarding group. The earlier you board the more wiggle room you’ll have (still needs to fit under the seat). But come those last boarding groups they’ll look at personal and carry-ons with a more scrutinizing eye if the flight is full. I fly pretty often and I use hunting bags as both personal and carry-ons often.I think everyone has covered it. Hunting pack, school bag, or trash bag: they don’t care what it is as long as it fully fits underneath the seat. If it doesn’t, be prepared to pay to play. Just follow airline posted limits. Or look up the under seat storage spec for the specific model of plane you will be flying on, assuming it’s a large commercial jet.
YepI fly Delta a lot. Beating a dead horse, but fwiw:
- If you board early, don’t expect special treatment on Delta. It can happen, but if the flight is full, the FAs are watching everyone carefully.
- You are saving $40 by trying not to check another bag. I get the desire to have essentials in carryons, but you can fit a lot in a roller bag that you get to carry on.
