I'm gonna go back from Cambodia to France mostly by land on June and July, but I'll have to take a plane between Thaïland and China 'cause I don't have enough time. I'll have a backpack between 50 and 60L, and I wanted to book an AirAsia flight, but I wonder if my backpack will be allowed in cabin. I prefer paying more at the booking than a huge fee at airport if my bag is too big. Thank you for your help ! The information is all here under 'travel Information' .......and I have been on Air Asia flights where bags have been measured and weighed. Air Asias charges for pre booked checked bags are very cheap. Edited: 5:14 am, April 26, 2015 That's too large for the cabin. Hi Nish, just wondering if your backpack 60L menage to get tru in Air Asia cabin without paying extra acess? Even in the unlikely event that it did, it wouldn't mean yours would if you were thinking of trying that instead of abiding to the maximum permitted size. Unlike prebooked baggage which is cheap, excess baggage at the airport is very expensive!

I've had experience with proper hiking packs and even a 50L pack would in no way, shape or form meet the size requirements to be carry on. And even if you did get it on, it would be extremely selfish to do, because it would take up quite a lot of room in the overhead compartments. I recently returned from Kuala Lumpur on Air Asia and they had staff at the security gate where you go through for international departures, ALL passengers with oversized carry on luggage were stopped and sent back to check in and pay the extra to have luggage checked in. Our carry on was not checked for size but was weighed and they could see it was your normal carry on luggage, it was absolutely unbelievable what some people were attempting to pass as carry on, one family had a trolley load of cartons which they split up between themselves and tried to enter security area, some could not carry them, they were so heavy and dragged them along the ground. They put on a real tantrum when stopped and made to return and check in the cartons as checked luggage.

I'll be travelling around Southeast Asia with AirAsia and I have doubts about the size of the backpack. Should I take a 30L or 40L backpack? The 30L backpack is 61cmx28cmx24cm and the 40L is 62cmx28cmx27cm? According to Airasia website the measures should be 56cmx36cmx23cm? What do you recommend? Are they so strict with the measures? -:- Message from TripAdvisor staff -:-This post was determined to be inappropriate by the TripAdvisor community and has been removed./pages/forums_posting_guidelines.htmlOur staff may also remove posts that do not follow our posting guidelines, and we reserve the right to remove any post for any reason.

See All Air Travel Conversations Edited: 26 April 2015, 10:14I’m always on a mission to find the best travel backpacks, and Osprey packs are consistently some of my favorites. That’s why I wanted to share my thoughts on the excellent Osprey Farpoint 55 travel backpack.backpack rugzak best getest The Farpoint is one of the best travel backpacks I have used — it might even be my favorite. alienware 18x backpackThat’s because it has so many great features. handgunner backpack for sale

Most importantly, this bag has two important features that you don’t find in most travel backpacks: it opens like a suitcase, and it has a suspension system (internal frame, adjustable shoulder straps, padded hip-belt, etc.) that is usually only found on trekking backpacks. That means you get both comfort and convenience. There are also a bunch of other features like a removable daypack, lockable zippers, and a bunch more, but I’ll get to all that good stuff later in the review.backpack uitzending gemist because they offer free overnight shipping — which is crazy awesome! rath laptop backpack All right, let’s not waste any more time. um21 backpackBelow is my full review — both good and bad — of the Osprey Farpoint.

The Farpoint 55 is actually a 40L backpack + 15L detachable daypack. If you don’t care about having a detachable daypack, you can save $30 by getting the Farpoint 40, which is just the main travel pack (everything else is essentially the same as the Farpoint 55). Conversely, if you need a bigger bag, and you don’t care about staying under the carry-on size limit, the Farpoint 70 (55L backpack + 15L detachable daypack) is a great choice. The Farpoint 55 comes in a small/medium and a medium/large, which is nice since many travel backpacks only come in one size. I’m 5’6″ and the s/m fit me well. The dimensions of the M/L are: In: 25 x 13 x 12 (height x width x depth) Cm: 64 x 34 x 30 Technically, this bag is a little too big to be carried on, but you’ll probably be able to get away with it — assuming you don’t have it stuffed to the gills. Backpacks are’t rigid structures like suitcases, so there is a lot of give, and most of the time you can shove them into those size templates at the airport.

Most airlines are more concerned with the weight. The Osprey Farpoint has a legit suspension system, so the backpack is comfortable to wear — which is great on those long walks to hostels. The shoulder straps have good padding and can be adjusted easily. The back is also padded for extra comfort and lumbar support. Additionally, the Farpoint has a padded hip belt, which is rare for travel backpacks. A padded hip belt is nice because it takes the load off your shoulders and transfers it to your hips. As an added benefit, the shoulder straps and hip belt can be zipped away behind a flap so you can easily and safely check it on a plane or carry it without fear of getting a strap caught. The Farpoint has two padded carry handles — one on the side and one on the top. I know it doesn’t seem like a huge deal, but having padded carry handles is great when you’re loading/unloading your bag. They’re also nice when you want to carry your bag around without putting it on your back.

The Osprey Farpoint is a front-loading backpack, so it opens up just like a suitcase. This is ideal because you can quickly get to whatever you need without digging through your bag. Trust me, this is a huge deal. I highly recommend picking up a few packing cubes to help keep everything organized. As you can see, this backpack can fit a good deal of stuff. But it isn’t a huge bag, so you’ll need to pack smart. Check out our Backpacking Europe Packing List for packing advice. Alternatively, the Osprey Waypoint 80 (men’s) and the Osprey Wayfarer 70 (women’s) are both larger but more expensive. The heavy duty zippers on the main bag can be locked to help keep the bad guys out of yo stuff. The fabric is made of heavy duty 420D nylon so it can withstand a good amount of abuse. The daypack can be zipped onto the back of the main backpack. The daypack is comfortable, so it’s not just an afterthought like you find on other bags. The daypack can also be clipped to the front of the main bag so you can keep track of important papers/other valuables  — although it does look a little funny.

There aren’t many things wrong with this backpack. The biggest complaint I have is the lack of external pockets on the main backpack. You can keep things in the daypack, but when it’s attached to the main bag, you have to unbuckle a few straps to access the daypack. It isn’t a huge deal, but it can be a slight inconvenience. Another negative is the small water bottle pouch. I’ve never felt the need to use a water bottle while wearing the backpack, but some people might. Yeah, the Osprey Farpoint is a great backpack. It’s comfortable, it’s durable, it’s functional… it’s just an excellent travel backpack. We hope you’ve found this article helpful.
