Well i didn't realize it until I got home but this is one is a flight bag then it shows a picture of a carry on, on the label... is there a difference between a carry on and flight bag can I take this one on the plane with me??

Answer 1

A carry-on bag is any piece of luggage that you can take onto the plane with you. It can be a small case, a duffel bag, or anything that the airline will allow on board.

A flight bag is simply a label used by the manufacturer to describe the product. If it is within the airline's size limits, then it qualifies as a carry-on bag. Don't worry about it.

If you're concerned about the size, then check the airline's website. Most carriers post the maximum sizes there for both carry-on and checked bags.
