Does anyone know if this pack would fit in a Airline overhead compartment? It wouldn't be stuffed to the gills, mind you.

I just flew to Nicaragua, got on two connecting flights. Mine fit in the overhead compartments just fine, it wasn't completely packed out but was probably 30-40 lbs or so. The dimensions of the bag are bigger than airline regulation, but for the most part they don't check, and you can make it work if its not stuffed.

Yeah - I second Jeff. This is too large of a pack for a carry-on.

Carry on size limit is 9x14x22 inches. This pack is 11.5 x15.5 x 30.5. Not going to fly. Osprey makes the Airporter, a pack cover for traveling, to protect the pack in airline baggage.
