Vera Bradley for carry on?

[jeeperwy]

Anyone ever use their Vera Bradley duffle as a carry on?
Thanks!

The large or the small one? I've used the small one many times.

As long as the size is appropriate for a carryon (fits under the seat in front of you or in the overhead compartment) according to your airline you are good to go.

I'm not huge on Vera Bradley, but my mom loves it. I know she uses a Vera Bradley duffle as a carry-on frequently.

I have used both the weekender and the duffle. The important thing is to not fill either to the brim. Since they are soft sided you can usually squish them into the tester bin. They usually fit up top but I've had a loosely packed weekender fit under the seat before.

I have the large duffle and have used it with both Spirit and Delta - on the return trips (like this past Sunday!) it was completely full (to the point of no squishing it down) and it still fit up top without a problem and I was never questioned about it when boarding.

I use my Weekender as carry on all the time. Sometimes it goes above, in the bin. Sometimes it goes on the floor. Depends on what I have in it.

I have seen many people use the large duffle as their carry on.

My wife uses the large Vera Bradley duffel all of the time. It was stuffed full yesterday on our MCO-DCA flight on Southwest. If fit in the overhead compartment with no issue at all, straight in as well.

My daughter uses her Weekender as a carry on just about every trip.

I have 2 of the large Vera duffels and have used at least one as a carryon when flying both JetBlue and Southwest. They are perfect because they hold a ton but still squish to fit wherever needed. I just wish they had a crossbody length shoulder strap for easier carrying.
