Flying with a backpack

[lslotten]

I am curious what type of duffle bag you guys are using when flying with a backpack. I currently have barneys and would like to have it in a bag when I fly from ND to AK.

I have flown basically every week with my SO 24 inches frame, with an old peregrine bag, with and without a day talon, for about 4 years. Always as carry on.

Any duffel I have on hand that will fit it works for me when I travel.

Thanks for the info

Top load duffel bag has worked well when traveling with a Frame Backpack.

Good to hear. I just bought a goshawk and plan to carry on often. I was considering cutting 2” off the frame and bring the extensions.

is there a trick to getting a bag with pack frame more than 22 inches into overhead carry on. few years back i was asked to put my pilot suitcase type carry on into the sizing cage and have had to check it just because the wheels put it slightly over the size limit. the flight back i just unscrewed the phillips screws from inside and took the wheels off. Alaska airlines went for 24 to 22 inches last year.

Are there any other bags out there guys are using or are most of you just using a top load dry bag?

Keep your pack intact while traveling by air or train. Simply drop it into the Osprey Airporter LZ Backpack Duffel, and zip it up. Your pack's webbing and buckles will be protected during transit.

This duffel stuffs into it's own pocket and is made for 70-100L backpacks. Has a shoulder strap as well so it's still fairly easy to carry. I used one on a trip to Patagonia to keep my pack alive during the travel portion.

In my opinion my SO backpack was never challenged size-wise because nobody ever realised it has a rigid frame. So it is very much a matter of luck.
