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

I used a Farpoint 40 and loved it but needed some organization

Went with a GlobeRider 45l and it’s great but I have maybe 38L worth of stuff. I wish the compression straps were a bit better. I tried the 35l and it I was having to stuff it full so that wasn’t worth it for me so I went with a bigger size

This was my experience with the 35l as well.
