What the Research Shows
We packed it to 35 L and it still slid into the Frontier 14 x 18 x 8 sizer. Loaded past about 20 lb the straps dig in.

Airline Compatibility
Measured at 18 × 14 × 8 in. Run it against your carrier in the Airline Bag Size Checker before you fly — personal item and carry-on limits differ sharply between legacy and ultra-low-cost airlines.
