I have flown through multiple Canadian airports with my 5.11 Rush 24 37L pack many times. I have never had anyone ask me about it's size. While the website does say 15 in laptop compartment, I always travel with my 17-in laptop. I put it in the zipped compartment where people normally put a water bladder at. The bag has tons of compartments and extra pockets for anything you need.
