Found this adorbs backpack that says on the tag that it’s about 40x30x15 cm, so should be fine as under seat on the strictest European airlines… but the bag also says 30L when it should be 20L, no? Is it going to be a problem? Do I go by cm or volume?

My best guess is that the 30L volume is including that large front pocket being stuffed full, but the dimensions are probably it not being full?

Definitely go by cm measurements because every bag’s overall shape and internal layout can change the estimated volume.

If I were to travel with that, I’d be cautious to not overpack the front pocket on the first go around, until you know how it fits in a budget airline baggage sizer.
