I’ve seen others ask about the helix backpack as carry on, but I’m flying out next week and am thinking of pulling the trigger on a helix/backpack and using it as my personal item on the flight. 
	 
 
	My current plan is to check my pedalboard (pedal train pt2 with hard case), carry on my guitar and stuff my clothes/laptop in my backpack, but I’d much rather take the helix and guitar with me in the cabin and check my clothes/everything else. My laptop should be able to fit in the helix backpack as well. Im flying Delta and it looks like the backpack might be a couple inches too long but I’m not sure how strict they are with that. Anyone try this?
 
	 
 
	BTW I’ve been thinking about selling my pedals and buying a helix anyway. I found a great deal but don’t want to pull the trigger and then regret trying to take it with me on the plane.  
	 
 
	thanks!
