I use a sling shoulder lowerpro for my K5 and two lenses for when i travel, but I am finding the need to travel with another lens plus extra equipment and especially when travelling on a plane I find it would be handy to have a back pack with extra room for another lens and extra non photographic travel needs (i.e. toiletries, t shirts). Anyone have any opinions on a pack (not too bulky) that exists on the market)?

I have one of these which is superb and sounds like it might fit the bill. Depends on the lenses and how much extra equipment you're talking about.

This may well not be the nest price for it:

I have a kata one very much like that one, might be same one, and it does have a nice large upper part for non camera stuff - sarnies, folded/ rolled up rain mac etc

I had a look at kata, very nice but getting a bit expensive when looking at back packs with a bit more space. Even so more economical than manfrotto bumblebee

Good DSLR backpacks are pricey, many ridiculously so. The Kata is the best I've tried. BTW it comes with a rain-cover.

I recently read this review of an F-Stop rucksack. It (or most other F-stop bags) sounds to be what you are looking for.

I use either my Tamrac Expedition 5, when taking a lot of gear, or a Tenba removable insert in my carry-on bag.

But then I tend to check a bag with clothes etc always.
