Does this pack fit as carry-on on flights? If not, is it sturdy enough to check it with the airlines?

I have a pack with similar dimensions and they made me check it on air tran. It might be the airline but I dont think they wanted to let me carry it on

Well, your dimensions are 29.75x14.5x10.5 Here is a carry-on chart for different airlines: http://www.luggagesource.com/IBS/SimpleCat/InfoPage/asp/Comp_ID/19231.html Doesn't look like it will fit. However, I've used my Black Diamond Sphynx 42L on multiple airlines with no problems. It will handle being checked with no problems although you might want to take some precautions. Trash bag and duct tape does work... although it might embarrass you while standing in line. Some airlines provide large clear plastic bags or wrap for such items. A lot of people buy a cheap duffel bag to place their pack in. Finally if you want none of that just tighten everything down/tuck everything in/secure waist belt around the pack and it should be fine!
