Hi guys, when the bags fully loaded without the bladder being filled, do you think it will pass as a carryon on a plane ?

I flew to Ireland for two weeks and used this as my only luggage. So absolutely yes, you can carry this on a plane.

Lorraine, I strongly suggest that you gate-check the wheelchair if you get a bag for it. It will not go into the general checked baggage and it will be available (hopefully) shortly after you or someone else exits the plane. I can't help you with the bag issue, but I have had experience with transporting assist devices in bags. Good luck. Dave Cass

I've not tried to carry this one on the plane, as of yet, but a I did carry on a similar-sized bag to Hawai'i with no trouble at all. I was loaded down with my camera gear, a laptop, jacket, etc. and I had no hassles.

I'm just stumbling upon this now. I have flown with my rabbit on United on 14 flights. Only one flights attendant (on the last flight we were on) gave me a hard time. I just had to switch from the single seat side to the double seat side. On the regional jets (all the flights we've been on), it's tight, but it fits if you tip it a bit to get it in. You won't have much room at your feet. I'm traveling with her again next month and I'm a little nervous because of my last flight experience and also the recent crackdowns on carry-on bag rules.

The bag is deflated by using the air pump and reversing the nozzle location, so pretty much all the air can get sucked out. You may have to fold it and compress it some to get all the air out. It comes with a drawstring bag to carry the bed and the air pump. The pump has a cord, no batteries, btw. It would fit into a carry on size bag and still probably have room for a toiletry bag and a change of clothes, packed tightly.

No problem. I haven't had any airline, including Delta, ever tell me this bag was too big to carry-on.

Probably even in/on an ultra light. It's pretty small. Or do you mean can you put it into checked baggage on commercial air? I would imagine so, since there is nothing pressurized about it.Happy flying!J

The airport security should feel unease with a none see through bottle. No, in order to carry it, you just need to put it in the checked baggage that's not going with you to your seat.

I've had this on the plane with me several times and never had a problem with it being a carry on. It fits under almost all seats on the plane too.

On my first flight, the airline made me check mine at the gate. It then got crushed by the other luggage (the cap cracked and strap broke). On the second flight, I then showed them the damaged tube and asked to bring it on the plane with me. They let me put it behind the seats in first class. I don't remember the airline, but they were both large planes (not the smaller commuter planes).

Absolutely, it works until the last drop. In addition, because you are pumping air in to take the space of consumed water up, and the air and water compartments are separate and placed front-to-back, your pack weight doesn't shift as your water level gets low like with non-pressurized bladders.

Hi, we haven't flown with it yet (but we will in April, when we go on a trip to California). Best is to check with the airline. We flown to Europe in October and called the airline to find out their policy on carrying baby stuff and they were extremely helpful, so that's our recommendation. And once you know the policy, would you mind sharing it with us? Thank you and sorry we couldn't be of any assistance :)

It is definitely not carry on size. It will go in baggage but will be expensive .

This item does not use a pump. It uses a suction. If you will be staying at a hotel or motel, or are just having a meeting at one or an office building, and immediately returning, maybe you could see if one of the cleaning people (they use vacuums) has a hose attachment and you could use it. You will need something with enough strength that will pull the air out to compress the holders and it should take a very short time to do it. Now, if you really get into a bind, the only thing left would be to sit or stand on the filled bag, forcing the air out and screwing the closure tight when you think most of the air is out and the bag and contents are "squashed" as small as it can get. I THINK I know what you mean, reversing a pump to pull OUT air, but I have no idea of one like that. Maybe including in your luggage a small, strong hand held vacuum with a removable tip, you could plug in, even in a car lighter receptacle on the way to the plane (or one just using a charged battery) before boarding. I hope the methods I offered above might help you. Have s safe flight.

It depends on how much you put in the bag. It was okay to carry on an American flight but I didn't have it packed full since it has a lot of room for things.

I'm not sure about taking it on the plane. I checked it as didn't want to be bothered storing luggage. When full it is quite large. You will have to check the airlines guidelines about size.

I put the bag up and then loaded everything in. When I took it down I loosened the straps and took things out little by little. FYI I didn't leave he bag up during my stay. I put it up only when I was packing to travel.
