Not sure exactly what kind of traveling you're doing, but I fly 6-8 times a month for work and walked part of the Camino de Santiago and the Via francigena, so I certainly have opinions.
If you're going to be traveling daily on foot, like the camino, then I would HIGHLY recommend getting a ultgralight backpack - Ether a Osprey Exos 48 (I've carried it on before and it fits fine on international flights) or possibly a gossamer gear gorilla (you can get an older model cheap on their website). If you're going to be carrying the pack every day, having that centered weight and frame support will be really helpful. Having all the pockets that typically come with a pack is really nice for organization, plus it's easy to carry a day pack when you don't want to carry the entire pack. I'd personally suggest an REI flash pack for that purpose.
If you are going to be hotel hopping and not be on foot every day, I'm personally a fan of the Kelty Redwing. Kelty is relatively cheap and durable, plus the large front zipper is super nice for unpacking/packing. Both options should fit just fine in an overhead and let you pack enough for days of cloths/supplies.
