I hate checking bags cuz i have the worst luck when it comes to lost luggage so , i'm flying on delta an it's affiliates . whats the biggest pack I can fit into the carry-on restriction ? how many litres?
My 48L fit in that thing.......like I said, it was not packed fullI say under 32L.

Baggage must fit easily in the Carry-on Baggage Check (approximately 22" x 14" x 9" or 56 x 35 x 23 cm), which is located near the check-in counters
While you should select a backpack for fit rather than its suitability for carry-on, most backpacks in the 30 to 50 litre size that are commonly used on the Camino can be compressed down to normal carry-on size, especially if you transfer some of your stuff to a small daypack that will fit under the seat. My main pack was an Osprey Kestrel 38, which theoretically exceeded the maximum carry-on length, so I put a bunch of stuff in this little roll-up daypack http://www.walmart.com/ip/Outdoor-Products-Packable-Day-Pack/26700608 and the larger Kestrel was not questioned. The little daypack comes in other colors than the purple shown in the link if that's an issue, and rolls up into a ball about the size of a large orange. It comes in handy on the Camino to carry raingear or groceries if you're playing tourist or grocery shopping in the towns along the way.I hate checking bags cuz i have the worst luck when it comes to lost luggage so , i'm flying on delta an it's affiliates . whats the biggest pack I can fit into the carry-on restriction ? how many litres?

had the same concern...but had no problem..no one even asked me to check the volumeI too took the Talon 44 on both. But I must say I was a little concerned that it actually slightly exceeded their allowance.
I carried on my full 36liter but took some of the items out and put them in a shoulder bag.

You'll need to contact each airline (Delta and each of its affiliates) to find out what is the maximum size they allow for a carry-on bag. None of the airlines go by liters but rather by dimensions so you'll need to check that carefully. A GENERAL rule of thumb is 9x14x22 inches but you will need to confirm this with EACH airline that you fly.I hate checking bags cuz i have the worst luck when it comes to lost luggage so , i'm flying on delta an it's affiliates . whats the biggest pack I can fit into the carry-on restriction ? how many litres?
Lyanair and Sleasyjet Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...... That's good...Al is spot on - Lyanair and Sleasyjet can be complete (insert orifice of choice) when it comes to weight and dimensions of carry-on bags and use it as an excuse to extract large amounts of cash from unwary passengers.
On one occasion a friend (on the same flight as me to an important meeting in Europe) was relieved of over UK£100 for being a few pounds overweight.
Cheat's method here is to wear/carry in pockets as much as possible!
Where do you send the poles?I had no problem with both EasyJet and Ryainair, when carrying my Osprey Talon 44l
in the overhead compartment.
I sent the poles by post.
