35L Travel Backpack - Open Story™

A: Yes. Jam packed it fits under a seat on delta

A: It will on certain airlines. I flew twice with spirit and didn't have any issues with this. It's about an inch taller than personal item list but not one enforced that at the airports I travel too.

A: Check your specific airline! Airlines can be hit or miss with enforcement of carryon and personal item sizes, but going over is a gamble - if they catch you over the limit, it will be VERY expensive.

A: Dimensions given by the airline are rarely enforced. I've been flying with a bag with similar dimensions for five years, across many US/Euro budget airlines, and never had an issue.

A: I have been able to place this under the seat with the following airlines: Southwest, Alaska, and Spirit. It has always been used as my personal item. Just don’t overstuff it and use the straps on the sides to compress it.

A: Yes it will fit underneath an airline seat.

A: I put my clothes in and then used the side buckles to “compress” bag a bit.. Frontier air is notorious for checking the dimensions and this fit in their personal item box.

A: No, absolutely not! I purchased this bag today, April 10 2023. the bag exceeds the limits for personal item. Personal item must not exceed 18x14x8. Returning ASAP.

A: I just flew on United - who seems to have pretty strict personal item size limitations: 9x10x17. I also purchased their basic economy ticket where I am only allowed a personal item. The bag does fit underneath the seat - however you cannot stuff it and you must use the compression straps on the sides.

A: I've used this on "standard" airlines like Delta or Alaska. While it's chunky have always fit it under the seat with no issue.

A: it depends on the airline. For southwest, it's allowable as a carryon but not as a personal item that fits under a seat. They state that it must fit 16.25” (L) + 13.5” (W) + 8” (H).

A: If you fly budget airlines it will not be allowed because they don't allow as much space as the major airlines which all give you 22" for carry-on.

A: Hello Gretchen - Make all your travels convenient with this 35L Travel Backpack from Open Story™.  This back pack is secured by a full zip-around closure which opens up like a suitcase and features interior mesh compartments and pockets. Retrieving items would depend on where they are packed. We hope this information is helpful! - Sokim

A: It depends on what you would need to access. The front (smaller) pocket opens like a backpack zip pocket. The main (larger) compartment opens like a suitcase.

A: There are 2 slim full size( 1 laptop and 1 other) compartment and 1 small zip that open from the top. Enough place to keep phone, earphones, snack bar, glasses, gloves, keys, lipstick, iPad,laptop, etc items that you might need during a flight

A: Pack the items you'll need most toward the top of the main compartment, and leave all of the zippers closed at the top. Gear will be accessible by opening the main compartment partially from top.

A: Hello jmr - Thank you for taking an interest in this product. There is no outside pouch but we do have some amazing Exterior Features such as Front Zip Pocket, Adjustable Strap, Backpack Straps. Hope this helps. Happy Shopping! - Amy

A: That's the one thing this backpack really is missing. It should have a water bottle holder on the outside.

A: No water bottle pocket. Could use a carabiner to hang a water bottle from the backpack strap, or compression strap.

A: Wish there was a removable hip belt.

A: Hello Tamra - Great question! This item does not have a waist belt included. We hope that this helps! - Mariah

A: There is no waist belt, but there is a buckle/strap across the chest that adjusts up & down.

A: It does not, sadly. It has a mesh zipper separator that is in place but nothing that vacuum seals.

A: Hello hogg5 - Thank you for your interest in this product! It only comes with a mesh zipper. I hope this helps! - Monica.

A: You can unclip the straps from the bottom of the bag and tuck them into the panel at the back of the bag.

A: Hi Lynn - Thank you for your interest in the 35L Travel Backpack. The straps doesn't come off. This backpack is made of a water-resistant fabric for keeping the contents dry, while the adjustable padded shoulder straps make carrying it a breeze. I hope this helps. - Emma

A: Hello Krapf2 - Great Question! The 35L Travel Backpack is a hybrid soft side travel backpack with Zip-around closure. We would not recommend to fold it flat to avoid the backpack going out of shape. Hope this helps! - Eram

A: The clips can release the backpack straps and you can tuck them behind the padded back, so they don't get tangled when checking the bag, or stowing it as carry-on.

A: Hello Amanda - Thank you for taking an interest in this product. The clips are just a design attached to the adjustable Straps. Hope this helps. Happy Shopping! - Amy

A: I've been traveling with a similar-sized bag for five years and have gotten it on as a personal item every time.

A: Hello Kj - That is a great question. The dimensions on this bag are 19.25 Inches (H) x 13 Inches (W) x 8.25 Inches (D) which is within the range for a carry on. We always recommend checking with the carrier you are travelling with for their individual requirements. Happy travels! - Kati
