I’ve been through many many travel guitars looking for one that fit the ticket perhaps the best one I ever had was a Rainsong 12 fret parlor guitar but that was a little pricey for guitar that did not get used often so I sold it.
The other day I picked up my daughter’s Yamaha APX T2, which I tuned up for her maybe a year ago and it was still in tune! That is through the winter in a very dry house in the northeast
it occurred to me that this might make the perfect travel guitar…. yeah, it’s three-quarter size and the scale length is a little over 22 inches but it’s more than adequate to get your ya ya’s out on vacation…..certainly fits in an overhead bin
just polished the frets and applied some lemon oil

I've had a standard model Vagabond Travel Guitar with passive piezo for 27 years now:

i took a martin backpacker to europe for 3 weeks in feb/march.
it was a very underwhelming experience, tho it sounded ok for baroque stuff.

These might not be so well known outside of the EU, but Furch guitars in the Czech Republic make an amazing steel string travel guitar called "Little Jane". LJ-10 I believe.
It has a brilliant mechanism to easily remove the neck and peg-head without de-tuning or removing the strings.
It then fits into a their special backpack, which will fit into an airline overhead bin.
They make several wood variations and offer it with or without a Fishman pickup.
This is a very good instrument and sounds a bit like a Louden guitar.
(I am not an endorser, I actually bought my LJ-10)
