Q: Is this a personal item for spirit or frontier airlines?

submitted by Traveler101 - 2 years ago
  • A: This is the same as a purse for woman/man. If you are a female and you are carrying this you cannot carry a purse as well keep that in mind

    submitted byZara - 2 years ago
  • A: I ordered the 45L and it is way too large to be considered a personal item. It is definitely the size of a standard carry-on. It looks too big to be comfortably carried on my back. I am returning it.

    submitted byMolly - 2 years ago

Frank - 29 days ago
I would not suggest this bag. I used it for carrying a couple notebooks and a Chromebook and it ripped twice. The first time the strap tore off the second time the back of the main pocket tore. I got a replacement after the strap tore thinking it was a fluke.

SB - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This bag holds a surprising amount of stuff and has compartments everywhere you need one. I bought one several years ago and used it so often as a carry-on that when one of the strap rings broke I immediately bought another. My current one has been with me through a dozen trips a year within the US and a ten-day trip to Europe as my only luggage. For a $50 bag it's incredibly durable. I get compliments on it all the time, too. I use the first one with the broken ring as a beach bag.

Too Big for Me

MyStuff - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
Quality and price were good but size is way too big for a lady. It’s basically the size of a carry on rolling bag. Once you fill it may be too heavy to carry on one’s back.

Bought matching pair for an international trip and it was perfect! We wanted to avoid checking pur bags and we're successful through the US but once international they kept making us check it...so that was a bummer. It helped up well, and otherwise was a great buy

I used this backpack for a WEEK long trip via flight and I did not have to check it either! I was able to fit a weeks worth of clothes, shoes, and a Dyson airwrap. LOL. Get this bag! It’s so worth it, flying or not. It is SO SPACIOUS and the best part is being able to use it as a backpack. 10/10.

Great Design, But Not Ideal for Long Trips: Secure Those Zippers!

rebelwithout - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
I loved the design and how everything was organized, but it’s not ideal for long international trips. - I overstuffed my backpack, which caused the zipper seam to start pulling. - I checked it in as-is, and during baggage handling, the front pocket zipper opened, and some of my stuff ended up on the conveyor belt at claim. I definitely recommend securing all zippers before checking in your luggage.

Kashmoney - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I bought this as none of my bags met carry on requirements and I've been very happy with it. It holds SO MUCH and I say that as an over packer. There are a ton of pockets and adjustments. I've only used it for one trip so far, so hopefully it lasts.

Reba - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
Great concept, flimsy straps. Perfect size, fits perfectly under the airplane seat holds a surprising amount of stuff. The straps are too flimsy though, they keep folding in themselves and aren't robust enough for the weight the bag is designed to carry. Could also use a mesh side water bottle pocket or at least a loop somewhere to connect one via carabiner.

So many compartments and pockets. I've had this bag for almost 6 six years. I've taken it to Nigeria , Mexico, Guatamala and all of the US. I HATE carryon luggage and this those the job perfectly. I can fit about five dresses, two shirts, two pairs of shoes, toiletries, and my large tablet. I bought another for my mom!

If there were 10 stars, this backpack would receive it. I absolutely adore this backpack. I just returned from Morocco and this backpack was my personal assistant. It not only held three days worth of clothing and necessaries on my three day tour away from the hotel- but it held all the items I purchased. It expands and has pockets for days. Everything stayed neat and organized. It’s a game changer and worth the purchase. I just bought two as wedding gifts for a couple that will be back packing across India. Don’t wait, run and grab this back pack. Will not disappoint.

I bought this for my teenager so they could easily carry their bag on their back for better weight distribution when we travel. A duffel was very difficult for them. They LOVE this bag, and my husband was eyeballing it and mentioned going to purchase one for himself. It is huge! I was so pleased with the value, space, compartments for separating their items, and how they would be able to affix it to other luggage if we fly. Fantastic investment.
