Wondering how you guys feel about this yourselves. I have a 17L Everything backpack. It's perfect for all my needs except on long-haul flights ironically.
I'm usually the first to my seat b/c of airline membership, so I'll put my bag in the overhead compartment so I can stretch my legs and sleep. But when a flight is full and there might not be enough overhead space, the flight attendants ask me to put my bag under my seat. In economy seats, this means almost no more leg space. More often than not, they won't let me stack my bag on top of someone else's in the overhead bin.
Feels penalizing for choosing to bring a smaller bag, while the guy next to me with a full-sized carryon, and a duffel bag that's definitely larger than the personal item size-limit gets to stretch his legs for the 12 hour flight.
I'm considering checking my bag for this reason alone for long-haul routes.
