If you are 80% full, you'll be fine. Don't sweat it.
Yeah, I'm currently going through my packing list to see what I can get rid of. My 33L isn't full. There's probably about 20% room left in it. It's just that I'm worried it'll look "bulky" to a TSA agent. I think it helped when I tightened the compression straps, as they got rid of excess air in the pack. I've never had something so big as a carry-on. The most I've taken as a carry-on is a backpack typically used for school, and that was for a five day trip. I've seen people bring on pretty big looking bags before. Oh what I wouldn't give for the thing that people use to measure their carry-on bag at an airport.
I appreciate the reply! I have about 5 weeks left until I leave, so I'll continue tweaking my items.
If anyone else had a bag close to mine, please let me know! I would love to have my worries dismissed. If I have to check my bag, it won't be the end of the world. I just really hope it doesn't come to that.
It isn't ridiculous at all. You ain't alone worrying about it. I don't go for another three months and I'm exactly the same. To the point I very nearly paid to have my bag in hold.Thank you! I know it's kind of a ridiculous worry. It was just something that popped into my head as I was packing and repacking my bag.
You will be fine as long as you don't over-fill the pack, especially the top pouch. I have carried my Osprey Talon 33 on many airlines without trouble. That pack comes in 2 sizes/lengths, and I have the S/M. However I returned (yesterday) with a companion who carried the M/L. The specs listed on the Osprey site seem to assume that the top pouch is reasonably full. I think that if you measure the stiff back panel, you will find it is well under the limit. Stand your packed pack up against a wall and measure the height on the wall. Anything in the top pouch should be squishable if you are close to the limit. The purpose of the size limit is to ensure the bags fit the overhead compartments, so squishability will be on your side.After looking up the guidelines for carry-on sizes for the different airlines I will be using, I'm getting a little nervous about the size of my bag. It's an Osprey Talon 33L, and the specs say it's 24 x 9 x 10 inches, which is just around the size limit for a carry-on.
I have never had a single problem with carry on and have traveled almost every year with carry on backpack since 2006. I fly from and to New Zealand with different Airlines. My black diamond z poles are inside the pack.I couldn't decide to put this question in Equipment or Traveling to/from the camino. I figured here is a good place as any! Sorry if this has been discussed before. I tried searching carry-on and got over 200 results.

I would go to an airport to test the bag out, but the nearest one is two hours away. I'm also bringing a nylon bag with a drawstring as a daypack for the camino, so it could be used to take some items out to make the bag look not so "bulky." It's beneath the weight limit at 13 pounds, but it just appears to be bigger. Maybe I could wrap my bag cover around the pack, using the draw strings to make it look smaller?
I guess my question is, has anyone had trouble getting their bag as a carry-on? If you either had the bag I have, or one with similar dimensions, please let me know! I would rather not check the bag as I fear the airlines would lose it, especially since I have to do this process three times just to get to the camino.
My 35 L and my son's 40L had no trouble as carry on even with the ever extremely anal Ryanair.I couldn't decide to put this question in Equipment or Traveling to/from the camino.

I keep hearing about walking stick and size of backpack as criteria for carryon luggage. But what about liquids? Between foot creams, conditiners, antipersiprant, antichaffing stuff, how does anyone do it? My Proshield plus alone is 125ml. I would have to empty it, and separate the content in two smaller packages.
