I already have a Kelty Redwing 50 that I think would be fine for the Camino but am worried wether I can carry it on. Any suggestions on alternative packs?

If you pack it lightly, you probably can carry it in. I have made two international trips with a 58l pack and got it on all planes. Out of 10 flights, only one asked me to check it at the gate for plane-side pickup after arrival. It easily fit large plane overheads and fit but was tighter in smaller planes. Recommend you test pack it and see how small you can squish it. Buying another pack is almost certainly unnecessary unless you just want something new.I already have a Kelty Redwing 50 that I think would be fine for the Camino but am worried wether I can carry it on.

I carried a Kelty Redwing 50 on my Camino last fall, and carried it as cabin luggage on Air France from the US without a problem. The dimensions allowed were 55 cm (l) x 35 cm (w) x 25 cm (h) – including pockets, wheels, and handles, which, in inches is 21.7 x 13.8 x 9.88. Fully loaded,the Redwing was a little too big, but I used luggage straps as compression straps (discarded them on arrival), got it down to the allowed size, and had no problems taking it as carry on luggage.I already have a Kelty Redwing 50 that I think would be fine for the Camino but am worried wether I can carry it on.
