I am flying to Europe and want to use this as an under seat "purse". Will it work? Or is it too long?

Based on the other response I felt I should add additional information. I consistently fly Spirit Airlines who is notorious for small seats and extra fees. The Talon 22 will fit under the seat without a problem. I taken it onto a plain fully loaded and had no problems.

The pack as a semi-rigid padding that is nearly 20 inches from top to bottom and about 12 inches wide. So, start with those measurements as the "footprint" of the pack. The thickness will depend on how much you try to stuff in it. I think it will probably fit in the underseat area if you don't overfill it. If you're unsure, you might look at the Talon-11. It has many of the same features, but is significantly smaller. My own preference is for the Talon-22, it has extra padding in the shoulder and waist straps and an ability to adjust the torso length that makes it more comfortable to wear. Between the two, I would 'make' the Talon-22 fit, but that's me. The pack as a semi-rigid padding that is nearly 20 inches from top to bottom and about 12 inches wide.

I think it should be fine as an under seat purse...might work well as a pillow too!

So far we haven't any problems with that. My husband can fit it under the seat but I don't think it's packed as full as it could be. Should be fine in the overhead compartments for sure! We got the 20 Liter Capacity size, not that big. Hope this helps.

It will work just fine for carry on. as far as European domestic flights, I can't answer that. However, it will be fine for US domestic flights.

Hello - I've never taken this on an airplane, but from what I have managed to get under the seat, this pack is too long. Also, if full, it will be too wide. I take things out of it to get it into the long locker at my gym (YMCA), if that's any help. From what I have seen people put overhead on the plane, it would certainly fit overhead.

Definitely. I use it this way all the time and it has worked for both the smaller airplanes as well as the larger. It is a great bag for traveling.

I think that it is longer than is actually authorized and it won't fit in all overhead compartments. Every time I've tried, they've allowed me to carry it on and stow it in the cabin but you might have different luck.

Yes it will but it depends on how much you put in it because it's a very big bag. I got it for my baby's diaper bag for long flights as well.

Wow, great question.. It might be too wide but then again, I carry mine around like a briefcase. Maybe order it and try it at the airport in that size thingie. If it doesn't fit, send it back. I like mine... Very sturdy.

It should. There isn't a lot of extra room in this bag though. As its designed to be able to fit under the seat in front of you on most planes. I love the bag though.

It will fit. The bag holds more than my carry on if you really pack it full. I put it under my seat on plane flights and it is normally pretty stuffed. I think the bag won't disapoint you.

You know. it doesn't look that big so i will say YES! I've been traveling for a while. and the size is smaller than normal carry on luggage. I would recommend you put it on the overhead bin though. I wouldn't count on it as a "purse" type. I've been hiking with it. and i love it so far~ ^^ I hope that helps

Yes, this definitely fits under an airplane seat. I've taken it on three flights and haven't had any issues.

Yes. It is small enough to shove under an airplane seat or stow above. It's like a gender-friendly purse with shoulder straps.

It is likely too large for carry on. It will fit in a checked bag. It is a keyboard bench so no back support. I would look for a more suitable portable chair.

Perfectly! I just flew round trip last week and the backpack was perfect under the seat! I have early enjoyed using it.

Yes.. It fits perfectly under an airplane seat and I even had room to stuff my purse right next to it two weeks ago when I was traveling by air.

Yes. Its one of those backpacks that looks small, but seems to carry more then you would expect. It would fit nicely under a airline seat.
