Cotty, if you're flying a "normal" transatlantic flight, you will be fine. The
Pelican is well
within the allowable size for the overhead compartments. In some older planes,
the hatches don't
open wide enough to allow larger bags in, but at 7.25 inches high, you should
not have that issue.
However, if you are carrying your laptop (since we live in a digital age now),
find a way to put
it in your Pelican. Otherwise, you will have to check it. Heathrow is
apparently only allowing ONE
carry-on bag, and I don't know if they're currently honoring the "one carry-on
and one personal
item" rule that is so prevalent on this side of the pond.
