This backpack will be a great addition to airline carry-on luggage as stowing things in overhead compartments has gotten MUCH more difficult lately. It won't be long before the airlines charge for that as well. There's enough room in this backpack for an emergency set of clothes (in case a checked bag gets lost), snacks for a long flight, and, of course, an iPad, iPod, noise-cancelling headphones, book, etc. I have several Case Logic products and all have been excellent -- well-made, durable, attractive and lightweight.
