Using backpack as cabin luggage

The volume is irrelevant, what matters is that the bag does not exceed any of the given height, width and depth dimensions. So it's really just a question of looking at the terms and conditions of the airline you are using and then getting out a ruler to check the bag when it's packed.

Exactly!
And of course it will need to be within any weight limit the airline imposes.

As above pack it and measure it to see if it will exceed the limits. I recently went hiking in Italy for a week and just took a black army issue daypack as hand luggage. It required some squishing to get it all in but it worked out reasonably well.

Thanks anyway.

Ive got a 35 litre which I go backpacking with and I am so tempted it would pass without having to pay extra for it, but of course I don't wanna turn up and just try it on a whim :cool: Could be an expensive test!

As others have said, if its within the hand luggage dimensions and weight limit of the airline you're flying with it would be fine
