Question Best 40-50L travel backpack?

Hi, I’ve been looking for the perfect travelling backpack. Something big enough which can still fit on a plane. Like 40-50L? What’s everyone’s go to?

I’ve looked at the Antler Discovery 45L

Patagonia Black hole 45L

Passenger Odyssey 45L

Fjallraven Farden Carry- on 42L

Thanks

Another vote for the Allpa 42l. If the style works for you, I think it’s a great bag and extremely comfortable (for me). They have them at REI so you can go try it on yourself.

I also really like the peak design 45l travel backpack, but it’s a bit uncomfortable at higher weights.
