is the detachable day bag carry-on friendly?

Absolutely. In fact, I've carried both bags on numerous times...the large one fits nicely in the overhead, and the smaller one is my personal item. Officially, the larger bag is too big to carry on, but there is no problem closing the overhead bin. I've only been asked to gate check it once (which still let me skip out on the fees).

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

Yes, I have used it as a carryon with my electronics with no problem on domestic and international flights. The small farpoint 40 can be used as a carryon and I find myself being more efficient at packing and use this bag more.

Yes, I had to remove the day trip bag from the roller part of the bag an use it as my personal item. They would not let me leave it zipped to the roller part of the bag because of all the stuff I had packed. It would not fit in the bag size checker. But once I had removed it from the roller part of the bag, it was okay.

Depending on what they define as carry on. The back support brace and lower strap can be removed to better conform to the carry on guide lines.

I have had mixed experiences with this. Most of the time, I have been allowed to carry it own without an issue. I have once been told I had to check it - admittedly, it was stuffed completely full and it was an international flight. I have not had a problem with it fitting in the overhead space, but it will not fit under the seat in front of you. Agree with RF Zeiss, I think it is a great carryon. It's a terrific bag.

I have not. Whether it would be suitable or not would depend on what you are putting in carry on.

I have not tried it as a carry-on, but it is smaller than other items that I've taken to a plane as a carry-on.

In my experience, yes. I have flown both domestic and international airlines (Southwest and United) with this bag as a carry-on (and packed pretty much full). It can get a little unwieldy and might be difficult to cram into the overhead compartments, but it does fit and I never had any trouble with the airlines or security about the size.

Not at all, I've travel a couple of times with this bag and had a nice experience. It's light weight, bike is secure.

Absolutely not. You must unzip the pack for it to fit in the overhead bin. Then the items you may want are just under the seat in the day pack.

Not for me... I am a frequent flier/traveler... the A&K; is stored in its leather case in my luggage... no problems in 1st year of ownership.

No - it would be a great carry on. You would be able to have your laptop too. Worth the $oney. I used it as a 3 day trip on Motorcycle. Great.

Probably not carry-on size, but might fit in a standard size if you took apart and ran it diagonal inside the suitecase. It is quite easy to disassemble.

I had not problem with this pack. I travelled with this bag as a carry on to four different countries. The trick is not to pack the "day pack" with things when you take is as a carry on. So that way it do not look too wide. Also if that so you can always detach the day pack and put it under your seat or carry it as a personal item.

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)

I have flown a few times using this bag as a purse, in addition to a carry on item. No problems so far!

Not easily done. It is a big pad and the official width of the carry on makes it a tight fit.

Yes. The very well made bag is included along with detachable carrying strap.
