A professional travel backpack from Travelpro® is a laptop backpack with a rear strap that fits around the extension handle of a rolling suitcase. Altitude™ and Travelpro® x Travel + Leisure® travel backpacks are nylon, and the Maxlite® backpack is polyester.
Start with laptop and tablet protection, which each of the four backpacks above lists. Then look at depth, because depth decides how the bag carries and where it can go on a plane. The slim backpack is 6 inches deep, while the Maxlite® Laptop Backpack is 10 inches deep.
Expansion is the third thing to check. The Altitude™ expandable backpacks have zippered expansion, and the litre range in each name, such as 25-30L, shows the room before and after. An expanded backpack is deeper than its listed size, so compare overall dimensions with your airline's carry-on or personal item limits before you fly.
If you want a spare bag for the trip home instead, the Travelpro® Essentials™ SparePack™ Foldable Backpack 2.0 is the foldable option.
The Altitude™ Large Expandable Laptop Backpack 30-36L (18 x 12 x 9.5 in., 4 lb) has the most room, the Altitude™ Slim Expandable Laptop Backpack 20-24L (16 x 11 x 7.75 in., 3 lb) suits lighter packing, and the Travelpro® x Travel + Leisure® Slim Backpack (16 x 12 x 6 in., 2 lb) is the lightest of the three. The Altitude™ Convertible Duffel/Backpack switches between duffel and backpack carry for longer trips.
A personal item is a bag small enough to fit under the seat in front of you, such as a tote, laptop bag or backpack, and it travels in addition to your carry-on. Personal-item limits vary by airline, and a common international limit is 18 x 14 x 8 in. Compare each bag's overall dimensions with your airline's rules in our carry-on size guide by airline.
The Altitude™ Convertible Duffel/Backpack is sizer bin tested to fit the overhead bins of most major US airlines. Limits vary by airline: many major US airlines, including American, Delta and United, publish 22 x 14 x 9 in., while Frontier and Southwest allow 24 x 16 x 10 in. Compare the overall dimensions on each product page with your airline's limit in our carry-on size guide by airline.
