TSA Guidelines for Checkpoint Friendly BagsIn a nutshell, the current requirements are as follows: Your laptop bag has a designated laptop-only section that you can lay flat on the X-ray belt. There are no metal snaps, zippers, or buckles inside, underneath, or on top of the laptop-only section.
A final note if you are looking for a bag to fly with: Checking in at 26.7? x 15.7? x 11.8?, the bag is technically too large to pass as a carry-on bag when packed full. However, if not packed full, I can attest that the bag works great for this purpose.
Your backpack will generally be allowed as a carry-on if it's under 50 liters, or about 22 x 14 x 9 inches. Get a 45-liter backpack if you want to carry as much stuff as possible on the plane with you.
Including handles and wheels, the maximum dimensions for a carry-on are 22 inches long, 14 inches wide and 9 inches high. Personal items are limited to 17 inches long, 10 inches wide and 9 inches high.
