Great Backpacks for Less Packs that are light on your wallet. | |||||

Backpacks are often used as carry-on luggage. They are versatile and easy to care. Also, there are literally hundreds of styles to choose from. There are backpack carry-ons for the adventurous, small children, executives, computer geeks and the avid traveler. If you plan to use a backpack as a carry-on, be sure to read up on the rules for taking your pack aboard the plane so that you won't be caught by surprise.
Carry On Luggage Size - Know The Rules!As I stated in my carry on luggage article, weight is a factor. Some airlines have no restrictions when it comes to carry on luggage weight. Others are as low as 11 pounds, some as high as 40 pounds. Most airlines will allow one piece of carry on luggage and one personal item. They consider a personal item as carry on. The weight is the total of the two. Personal items include a purse, laptop bag, reading material or another small (no bigger than 36”) carry on bag. Keep those carryon luggage limits in mind when packing! The standard carry on luggage rules are 22” X 14” X 9” for a total of 45”. Again, these carry on luggage dimensions vary both by airline and shape of the bag. Even if your carry on luggage doesn’t exceed the allowed dimensions, the airline can make you prove that the bag will fit by putting it in a box, and if it won’t fit, your luggage will be checked.
