ORtlieb backroller panniers & carryon.

[Bernard Duhon]

Would any of you share your experience in using an Ortlieb backroller panniers as airline  carry on luggage,.

 

That is of course without getting kicked out by TSA.

 

Thanks

 

Bernard

I’ve used one of mine with the shoulder strap a few times and found I prefer a backpack while I drag two bike boxes in and out of the airport. The single shoulder strap was not as stabe as the backpack.

So TSA  does not reject the pannier’s hardware when you carry it on the plane?

I've brought 2 Ortliebs as luggage to Europe in 2019. There was no issue. Maybe bring a big pillowcase or plastic bags as backup (you could put the whole bag in a pillowcase) in case they give you trouble about the outside latches. Worst case scenario, they might have you check the bags. 

Go for it.

Ortleib's hardware is mostly molded plastic/nylon,  not something that is likely to alarm sensors or TSA agents.
