Hi travelers!
I'm going to do my first interrail this summer with a friend of mine. We are going to fly to Italy (via Easyjet) and start the trip there, could you recommend a backpack to take on the plane? We are doing 15 days, no camping, only a sleeping bag and pad and the clothes. Nothing fancy. So, do you know any good backpack/rucksack (dont really know the difference) under 55cm tall?
Btw it must be sold or able to order from Portugal.
Thanks in advance

Hej André,
I would recommend to have a look at some sports/outdoor shop in your area first. I'm sure they have some backpacks which fit your needs there.
There are also some backpack/trolley combinations which are designed to just fit cabin luggage restrictions, a wuick google search will do the trick. Dont have experience with these. :|

the more gadgets are in that pack-the the heavier it gets and most airlines have a 6 or 8 kg limit on carry-on luggage. If half of that is taken up as dead weight........
It makes no sense at all to order online a pack of you do not know what to order-ANY town in Europe must have some outdoorshop=-go there and have a look and ask info.

Hi
actually i'm going to fly by easyjet, so the weight limitation is 20 kg.
I'm thinking on buying a FORCLAYZ 40 in decathlon it has 60cm length instead of 56 but i'm thinking it's worth the risk as i'm only travelling in the beginning of the travel and so the cloths and stuff can be really compressed, also we are not planning on taking a lot of things. The problem seems to be the sleeping mat that has to go inside the sack and will take a lot of space, if i decide to take one.
Btw I've already traveled by this company in this airport in a group of 12 people with really packed up bags and no one verified the measures in 4 flights. I think i can pass it with more 3 or 4 cm.
