I had the misfortune, after many flights just wrapping up the belts and straps as best possible, of a strap getting caught and jamming in the door as the luggage comes out onto the carousel. Not only did it get a bit of a beating, other luggage was jammed up and falling off behind it. I had to rip it free with lots of angry flyers looking on. Some airlines put them in plastic bags or in a large plastic tub, but I don't rely on that, anymore. Our packs now go in a bag we bought at EMS that is a lot like the Osprey Airporter. The Airporter is about half the price. I need another one, thanks for the link!!!!
My old Jansport D-5 exceeds the 62 inch rule unless I pack it very lightly. Since I'd have to pay extra , I stick with the internal frames.
