How to Choose a Travel Backpack

Choose a travel backpack based on your trip length, airline size requirements, packing style, and how much you plan to carry. Capacity in liters is useful for comparing packing space, but always check the backpack's exterior dimensions against your airline's current carry-on or personal-item limits before flying.
