A Round-Up of the Best Osprey Backpacks for TravelOur overall favourite Osprey travel backpack is the Farpoint/Fairview 40 but the Porter 46 comes close.

A medium-sized carry on backpack is any bag that is smaller than the maximum carry on bag dimensions but is larger than a personal item. Typically that means a 25-35L backpack. If you're a budget airline flyer or minimalist packer, a medium-sized carry on backpack is probably the best size for you.
A 40 liter backpack is the best size for traveling in Europe as it's small enough to fly carry-on only. If you aren't up to the challenge of travelling with a 40 liter pack, you just need to make sure that you choose a backpack you will be comfortable carrying for long periods of time.
The truth is that if you're looking for a versatile backpack for travelling Europe, South East Asia or even South America, a 40L backpack will (probably) be the perfect size.

No, it will be too big (assuming it's full or has a rigid frame, like most packs that size do). The biggest backpacks that will usually fit in an overhead compartment are 40L or so.

Most regular airlines won't check the size, unless it's obviously way larger or heavier than your allowance, but you may need to consider where is that extra inch, if it's too wide/thick, it may not fit in the baggage overhead compartment and a flight attendant may check it in for you…
