True hiking and alpine backpacks I know, including Deuter, are all toploaders. Also, in my case, comfortable ones tend to be too long and thin for carry on luggage as they need to hang on the hips while reaching shoulders.
You might try looking into military style “tactical backpacks”. Made for marching, quick access to your shooting gear! This can turn into quite costly (or crappy) soldier cosplay however.

@Akshay Yeah, I have a similar issue. I have a nice Mammut one that is a front loader, but it's quite long and thin. It doesn't exceed the usual 55 cm carry-on limit by a lot, but fitting the large camera insert I would need would be hard in terms of width. I hadn't thought about tactical backpacks, thanks for the tip!
