  • A: I have used it as a carry-on on Alaska and United. It's similar in size to a carryon roller bag so would be difficult to store under the seat in front of you on most airlines.

Q: Does this qualify as a personal item that it's under your airplane seat

submitted by traveler - 3 years ago
  • A: Hello Traveler, The underseat size restrictions are different for each airline. In order to fit most underseat restrictions, we would recommend a backpack below 16 x 12 x 6 inches as this is the most common size restriction. The dimensions of this Open Story Traveler Backpack is 21 x 14 x 8.75 inches, which would be too large to fit under the seat. Thanks,

    Traveler backpack - 18 days ago, Verified purchaser
    Took this backpack as a carryon through 3 international flights from the U.S. (i.e. I carried it myself). I moved between probably 5 midrange and nicer hotels around a South Asia country in a nice minibus over the course of 2 weeks. Before I even returned to the airport the stitching on the straps were coming undone. Were I to do this again, I'd instead spend this money on a travel backpack from an outdoor store that specializes in this type of product design (I bought this at the initial, not sale price unfortunately). This may be more appropriately a "Weekender Backpack".

    Very sturdy carryon backpack with compression straps and one side handle. Was a little concerned about dye transfer mentioned in other reviews. If you're under 5'4" the length may be uncomfortable. The main issue is that it weighs 4 lbs empty. Going to find a different travel backpack.

    Bought for my husband, who was looking for a travel backpack for overnight trips and as a carry-on. Used it for four trips within 90 days of purchase, three of which were one overnight road trips. He loved the organization and the space, as well as the exterior water bottle holder. Unfortunately, the morning of the fifth trip, we're walking through the hotel lobby on our way to the airport, and the metal clasp attaching the strap to the bag broke. Thankfully we were able to return it without a hitch. The search continues.

    Almost Perfect Carry On

    Curious - 6 months ago
    I've had this travel backpack for over a year and have gone to Mexico, and taken several domestic trips with it. It's still holding up pretty well. Depending on the season and if laundry is available at my destination, I can pack up to 7 days worth of clothes and toiletries. I love the divided clam shell design which makes packing it so much easier. My two main complaints are 1) that because it is med/large and can get quite heavy, it does not come with waist straps (I had to purchase from another company); and 2) Only the main compartment and the tablet pocket would be lockable because they are the only compartments with 2 zippers; the laptop pocket on the back only has one zipper. Other than that, it's still my go-to luggage when I travel.

    Naplesgrl - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
    This is exactly what I was looking for! My daughter needed a backpack to travel through Europe, and I was hoping to find something that was like carryon luggage, but in backpack form, and found this. Seems like it will be roomy and will fit everything she will need to take. Haven’t used it yet, so can’t comment on the quality or how well it will hold up, but appears to be well made. It was a little pricier than I would have wanted to spend, but it was also exactly what I was looking for. Glad to have at least gotten it on sale.

    I really liked this backpack. It was a fairly reasonably priced bag that fit my needs. However, the metal connector between the shoulder strap and the bag broke, and the company states they can’t just send me a replacement strap. I inquired about a warranty claim and sent the requested information in a timely fashion. I have sent two follow-ups after sending the requested information, and they have not responded in two weeks. Not even denying my warranty claim, just not responding, which is lovely. I wish I had maybe paid a little more and got a bag from a company that actually responds to emails. They also do not publish a phone number, so your only contact is through email.

    This is seriously the best bag I’ve ever purchased. It’s perfect for a weekend or a week long trip. It can hold so much and it keeps everything organized. I love the computer compartment, it protects my laptop. The straps are wide and distribute the weight evenly so it’s super easy to carry. I love that it can hold my clothes, shoes, toiletries while keeping everything separated. You won’t regret this purchase!

    The good: The straps and padding are actually very comfortable even when fully packed. The compartment design is good. It's a very good bag in theory. The bad: The very first time I tried to tighten the compression straps, one strap came off the bag in my hand. I subsequently tried to be much gentler with the remaining three, applying only a little bit of compression -- one still detached from the bag in use, ripping in a way that ripped the seam that remained. I was worried that the bag wouldn't make it through my 2-week trip, although it did. This would be a very good bag if it was designed to actually reliably carry load, but I returned it, as it broke under use. (I had no trouble getting Target to honor the 365-day satisfaction guarantee this item had; keep your receipt!)

    I would love to rate this a five star, however, I think the backpack is staining our light colored clothes. We have been trying to troubleshoot what keeps getting on our clean clothes and we’ve narrowed it down to the backpack. We bought six of these for our month-long European vacation and we haven’t gotten them wet or anything like that but we keep getting mysterious stains on our clean clothes and my son had a white Yankees hat in one of the pockets and when he took it out (he hadn’t worn it yet) it had the same stains on it. You should also know in most places this backpack cannot be considered a personal item. When it is packed full especially it is a carry-on, and you will be charged as such. We were able to use it as a personal item for one domestic US flight on JetBlue from Orlando to JFK and back but when we went back to the same exact gate the following week to fly to London, they wouldn’t let us take it as a personal item. We bought this backpack to use as a personal item, because we only wanted to take a rolling carry on and this backpack slips on to the rolling carry-on nicely. It has amazing compartments and I love it all around except for the two things I mentioned 1. there needs to be a smaller size so it can count as a personal item and 2. something needs to be done about the dye. If you use packing cubes, this is not an issue. I don’t think. I did use them and don’t have any stains on my clothes so far.

    Used this backpack for a month-long vacation in Europe and it was perfect. The clamshell opening style made it easy to find things and not unpack the entire bag each time. The bag is also higher quality than one I previously bought for the same price at REI. Highly recommend for travel!
