To measure a backpack for flight, you need to check its dimensions (length, width, and height) and compare them with the airline's carry-on size limits. Use a tape measure to capture these three measurements. Ensure your backpack is not overstuffed, as bulging can exceed allowable limits. Most airlines have a maximum limit of around 22 x 14 x 9 inches. Always verify your specific airline's regulations to avoid any surprises at the airport.
