My dd uses the Motherlode Jr backpack as her carryon. She can fit a week's worth of clothes (using packing cubes) in it plus her laptop, other electronics, and personal items. She's used it on international flights and on flights to/from college.I'm going to buy the Ebags motherlode. It's currently 45% off on the ebags site for $119. I'm buying the wheeled version and am trying to pack most of my belongings for my May trip to Europe in it.

All the big-name backpacks -- Jansport being a common one -- should give you literally decades of service. Most of them have a lifetime warranty on seams and zippers, which means you can send them back to the company if these "weak spots" fail; the company has the option of replacing or repairing the pack (hint: they always replace, though you're without your pack for several weeks).I use a 10 year old Jansport that looks brand new.
