Hello, 

I’m looking for some perspective. 

Currently, I have 36L kestrel osprey backpack 

But I’m looking to get something that’s a bit more optimized for non-hiking/backpacking travel. 

I’m currently deciding between 3 form factors: 

1. 24L City Pack
2. 28L travel pack 
3. 35L travel pack

 

What I’m looking for: 

1. Something that is big enough for 5-14 day one-bag, USA domestic and international trips (one-bag)
2. Fits underneath an airplane seat

 

As of now, I’m leaning towards the 28L option. It seems small enough to fit underneath most airplane seats, but big enough to accommodate a minimalist international traveler.  

Few questions:

1. Is the 28L work too small for 2+ week international travel? Will I regret not getting the 35L?
2. What are people’s experience bringing either 24L or 28L on airplane as personal item?

 

Thanks for your help!
