Does anyone know if the Lowepro Compu Trekker will fit under a typical airline seat. I just got one with the hopes of taking my laptop on my next trip witch is scheduled for next Monday. But now that I've seen it, it seems to be a bit large.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Carson

Carson -
I'm a big fan of the Computrekker Plus AW. Which will just fit in a standard overhead bin, and never under a seat. The Computrekker AW is a little smaller, but still too long in two dimensions for under-seat storage. Here's the details:
FAA Guidelines: 10" H x 17" W x 24" L
Computrekker AW: 13.4" x 8.5" x 17.7"
Computrekker Plus AW: 14" x 9" x 19.8"
And that's before you cram it over full, as I always seem to do. Since my laptop is my darkroom, I regard it as a small price to pay. On long flights, where I will be sleeping, I get mine down and put it under my feet. Call me Mr. Paranoid, but that's what I do.
HTH.

Thanks Jim, that's what I was afraid of and with flights as crowded as they will be next week the overheads will probably fill up so I'll probably stick with my mini trekker for this trip.
