Does it fit under the seat in an airplane?

I’ve traveled international and domestic flights with this as my carry on since 2015. It’s still like new, and now my wife prefers it on budget planes to save luggage fees. Works every time, so I’m not sure why others say not. True, it does not fit under all seats, but often under the seat ahead of me at my feet, and definitely in the overhead compartment no problem. Some flights check it at the gate to go underneath, but hey, I grab it on arrival, head right past baggage claim, and out the door in a jiffy.

I have eight 3-ring binders I need to fit into this backpack, in addition to a pencil bag and other odds and ends. Will all this fit?

The inside of the large compartment towards the back measures 6" deep by 12" wide by 16" high. The smaller compartment towards the front has a padded compartment for a computer and some more space in front of that and it measures also 12" wide by 16" high but is about 2 1/2" deep. The small compartment at the front is about 9" wide by 9" high by 2 1/2" to 3" deep and it has built-in compartments. I think the 8 binders would probably fit in there, but I don't know exactly how thick your binders are. This is a good quality backpack for sure.
