Meet Osprey KYTE 46 a.k.a The Best Travel Companion a girl studying abroad could've asked for!
Thanks to the helpful staff at REI I was able to purchase the perfect size backpacking backpack for my study abroad travels.
At REI they have a wide selection of backpacking backpacks to choose from and while there the staff will help:
With their help I chose the Osprey Kyte 46 and have no complaints whatsoever.
The number one perk of my backpacking backpack is that I was able to bring in on every single flight I took, during my weekend travels, with no problems with size and having it fit into the overhead bins in the airplanes. This is a problem that a few of my friends encountered because their backpacks were too big and therefore they had to either not use it for traveling on flights at all OR pay a fee and have it placed under the aircraft with the rest of the luggage.

So for any petite woman like myself, I recommend you purchase the Osprey Kyte 46 Backpacking Backpack in WXS/WS (33-43cm). Here are some of the great features about this particular backpack:
