Does anybody have experience using the XL messenger as an airline...

By Ranked #57 - Slings & Messenger Bags August 20, 2008

Does anybody have experience using the XL messenger as an airline carry-on? I've got a 3-day business trip (read: 3 businesswear outfits + toiletries) coming up and I'd like to avoid checking baggage. Thanks!!!

I actually used an XL for a 3 week trip to Paris as my only bag. I know this is different from yours because I wasn't all that worried about the folding, etc. of my clothes to avoid wrinkles, but there was no problem getting through customs, security, or putting it in the overhead, if that's what you were wondering.
