If there is no flight attendant around you can get away with it!

During check-in you will be given a luggage check-in slip. This is important in event you need to trace your backpack at your destination. Or making a claim in event of loss. Labelling your backpack will make it easier to identify it. Anyway, most international flights allow you 7kg or reasonably-sized bag to be carried on board as carry-on luggage. As long as you do not seem to be lugging it with you! So if you thing it can fit in the overhead luggage compartment, it should be alright to carry with you. Otherwise checking it in will be good option. You can check in your backpack. During check-in you will be given a luggage check-in slip.

Also, remember that you are allowed 2 checked pieces under 50lb each on most US Domestic flights. Also, keep in mind that a back pack will not be as secure as a suit case. Any fabric kind of baggage can get damaged or wet if there is weather in any city you go through. So dont put anything of value in there. Also lock the zippers or get plastic zip ties to secure it shut. Put your itinerary and contact information for both origing and destination inside. You can check it, people do all of the time.
