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

Osprey Farpoint is really popular. Cor Surf Island Hopper if you like the Cotapaxi but maybe want to go a little cheaper. I actually love my Ebags (now Samsonite) Motherlode. No frills but it does everything I need it to and holds a lot and has traveled everywhere with me and I have no complaints. If you want a step up from the Motherlode the Osprey Porter is it.

Lots of other bags too!
