I was just curious if this 70L pack will fit in an overhead compartment on a plane? Has anyone traveled with this pack fully packed and if so did the airline let you carry it on?

Thanks everyone!

I frequently travel overhead compartment only with my Black Diamond 50L Predator backpack--STUFFED! Yes, it's true. It never really looks like it'll fit, but backpacks are generally soft and flexible. Once the hipbelt is past the lip of the compartment door, it's good to go. I certainly haven't had any "Meet the Parents" encounters with a nasty flight attendant.

No. Most airlines follow a policy that no check in bag can be greater than 45 linear inches, meaning if you add the length, width, and height, it should equal less than 45 inches (some airlines give actual dimensions, but you'll notice that they follow this guideline). This pack is greater than 45 linear inches.

I had my Baltoro packed almost to the rim when I flew to Montana several years ago. I had to check it... there wasn't any way around it.

I'm highly skeptical that they'd let you carry this on, or that it would fit in the first place. I traveled from Seattle to Paris with a 42L pack (Black Diamond Sphinx if you're curious) and that barely fit. I don't think there's any way I could have gotten away with almost double that.
