Is there some sort of bag that this can be put into to be checked baggage when flying and is this bag small enough to be a carry on? thanks

I packed mine for a 2.5-week trip to LA and New Zealand, which included nicer and normal clothes as well as camping clothes/gear, and was still able to carry it on to all my flights. Granted, I'm small and my stuff packs down small, but it's impressive how much you can pack in and compress.

What I reccomend for checking these sorts of bags are United States Military C-bags. they work great. slip your pack into it to keep all the straps from getting caught.

I've both checked my Osprey pack and carried it on without a problem. Mine is a larger pack (Aether 60). When I checked it, I just tucked in all of the compression straps (but you can always buy a raincover for it.) You should be fine carrying on this bag.
