Does this bag offer enough protection to throw it on a plane? Is it a good travel bag?

I would say a big no, its more of a day bag. It doesnt offer that much padding for what a baggage handler will do to it. I would highly advise against it. If you need to throw it on the roof of your car or in the back of a truck, then it works great. Hope this helps!

No. This is a travel bag for local travel. Plane travel requires extra padding and support as there is no guarantee that someone's luggage will not fall onto the board or a handler drops it rather than placing it. I used this bag for when I moved as I was able to monitor the movers when they loaded the truck.

Yes this bag is the ideal protection for the stroller. Just make sure if the size of the bag is allowed by the airline, without extra fee.

The bag does not offer much in the way of protection, but it works as a backpack nicely. If you are wearing it on your back then it's safe from damage, but I would strap it on to anything.

I tent to over protect my baby (he is my baby). I guess it depends on how good of a bike driver/rider you are. I believe this bag was not designed for a bike ride, if you were to crush, your pet would not have a lot of protection. It is great for the car or to roll him or her around at the mall. I love the bag but I would not take a chance with my little one. Hope this is helpful.

It will very tight under an airplane seat. It's fairly ridged and doesn't really collapse well. The top storage compartment will prevent this. I stored in the overhead bin when traveling. I've found very little use of the side zipper compartment. I keep a few small items in it. extra lens cap, small trash bag for emergency weather protection and small micro fiber cleaning cloths. The bag does keep my equipment pretty tight. For most travel shooting, I carry a canon 60d with battery grip, 50mm, 28-55mm, 55-250mm and a few smaller accessories. I also usually carry my ipad air and 10" 2in1 laptop. both fit well within the back computer section.

The bag is about the size of a standard laptop bag, although it can expand to have more depth and thus carry more. It would make a great carry-on bag for air travel.

Good question. I travel a lot for business and the airlines destroy my mid-range luggage, personally If you have a high end tripod, I would get a hard case such as a fishing pole travel case etc, however, you may have to remove the head. This is a good case, however no padding on sides, just ends. Hope this helps.

Yes the material and designed of the bag is made for traveling. It is well worth the money paid, the most bang for the bucks Had one like it and with heavy use and age it was time to get a new one. Go for it you won't be sorry. I was impressed with the quality of the material, the price paid and it arrived at my door before it was expected.

I used it for carry-on on an international flight. Just be prepared to open ALL the compartments for inspection.

I have not done any air travel with the bag, but I have had it on a few trips and it has been great. I too fish with some expensive rods, Sage Z Axis, Orvis Helios, etc. I think it is a great gear bag. No complaints from me.

It should do. If you're flying with the pram, it is awkward to use and a little stressful to manage baby and stuff, while taking off the buggy's wheels etc - which usually done out on the tarmac beside the plane. I think ours got easily ripped after a few trips too. So I've just bought this bag to use over the holidays - JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Standard and Double Strollers. I haven't used it yet, but it looked to be what we needed - a protective cover for airplane's luggage hold.

Depends upon plane? I've flown to Japan with it on KLM and found it did not fit under their very roomy seat. Nor does it fit under seat for Delta domestic flight. I will tell you it is a great gear bag, it locks and protects. However, it is TOO heavy to wear on your back with 1 camera, 2-3 lenses, strobe. I've realized I must pack a lighter " around town" bag as well if I'm going to be photographing an area. That or find a chiropractor! So, use it for travel / safety of gear.

Definitely... Once you don't have a lot of items in the bag of course. It's seems to be very durable (just purchased it myself) and extremely padded so whatsoever items are well protected. Except at the side pocket areas. So hope this helps!

Yes, it is sturdy enough for air travel. There is a spot for a small pad lock on one of the clasps. I wouldn't say that it would provide impenetrable security but would deter most from trying to take a peak inside.

I think it is fine for transporting locally, but the case is not rigid. I think a hard case would be safer for international flight.

I used it as a carry on, both domestically and for international travel.It is also helpful to have the correct pack cover.

I have not taken it on an airplane, but it is very close in size to a rolling bag I carry on quite often. As a side note it is a very well constructed bag, just wish it had more small pockets for gear.
