Has anyone used this carrier on Delta/ airlines? I'm looking to get the small (20x14x14). Will it be approved? Thanks!

I know the Sherpa bag size M is approved and that one is 17x11x10.5, for pets up to 16lb. Thats the biggest one approved as a carry on. I think the one you are looking at are too big. If the pets not a carry on size he/she needs to be in a approved plastic or metal crate. Good luck :)

we have never used it on an airlines. Only at home and in the car. Our cockapoo is able to unzip the flap and get out of the carrier.

I haven't flown Delta with this, but when checking it it I check it in as a bicycle. It's $100 - $150 each way. Delta has Bicycles listed at this link under sporting goods http://www.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/baggage/before-your-trip/special-items.html it cannot exceed 115 linear inches (H + L + W). This case is 88 linear inches when fully compressed. (May not fully compress with a bike inside by a couple of inches.) there is an excess weight fee if the weight with the case is over 70 pounds. (The case alone is 31 pounds). No bikes over 100 pounds will be accepted. I haven't flown Delta with this, but when checking it it I check it in as a bicycle. It's $100 - $150 each way.

Yes, and it meets all airline specs for the domestic carriers I checked with (Alaska Air, Delta, and United; I flew Alaska). I also mentioned this in my review: It fit under a center seat and window seat, but the aisle seat had a bar partway across, blocking the full width of the area (probably to keep people from tripping in the aisle). I had an aisle seat and had to ask another passenger to switch seats. The window seat area was a little small, but it would fit (folded up a little on one side) if you didn't need much legroom. Fortunately for us, the center seat was empty so the carrier could be easily placed there. I think it is best if your pet is small enough to fit in the carrier with plenty of room to spare, in case you need to fold the bag a little to get it to fit. When booking, remember that bulkhead seats have no under-seat storage because there is no seat open in front of you.

Worked for me on US Airways and Delta very small planes where everyone with carry ons had to have them stowed under the plane. No one even asked us a question about the carriers and because they flex it was easy to put them under the seats. I've seen Southwests dimensions even on smaller planes and it shouldn't be a problem. Since flying with out 2 pugs earlier this year the experiences have been quite routine.

The carriers are airline friendly on most airlines. You need to check with your airline specifics to ensure it will fit under the seat. The carrier will collapse about 5" in height. We have flown with the large but not extra large. We have friends that have flown with this extra large on Luftansa. I hope this helps.

weight limit for small size carrier is only 10 lbs, not 22 as stated from an earlier answer. The large size has a weight limit of 22 lbs.

No problem. I haven't had any airline, including Delta, ever tell me this bag was too big to carry-on.

Hi. I travelled on several international airlines with this bag as a carryon and never had any problem with the size. However, I don't know about the US domestic airlines. Varies. Dont think it should be a problem. Still, I would double check on that. Hope that helps.

I have flown Delta to Europe with no problem. I believe the current fare each way is $150.00. Make sure to NOT exceed 70 pounds and that they know the contents is a bicycle at check-in; standard bike case dimensions have never been a factor. If so, the bike case may be counted as checked baggage and should be checked through to final destination with a

It all depends on the Airlines, below is a link (Or google: "pelican case + airline checked baggage limitations" ) if Amazon drops the provided link.The short answer is, this appears to be classified as "Over Size".Coreyhttp://www.pelican.com/airline_allowance_large.php

This size is too thick for airline carry on regulations. I have flown locally and internationally and have not been refused. There have been times when I had to insist it was okay. BS. and got away with it. Lately, airlines have been stricter on carry on sizes so I've had to downsize to avoid hassles. Again. I haven't been refused, yet. But, it's a risk as technically the dimensions are too large.

I have. However I've read that American Airlines is the only airline who won't gate check a stroller heavier than 20 pounds. I guess I'll find out soon because we booked a trip with AA. And I am going to take this stroller. No problem with any other airlines I've travelled (United, Delta)

Someone else mentioned that United would not take it for transporting a pet in the baggage area due to the top door. So I would suspect is it NOT approved for airline travel. Probably need one with a solid top for that. However, transporting a pet in the cargo hold on an airplane is risky for your pet anyway. Check with the SPSCC and other similar agencies for their views on this issue. I would probably leave my dog home rather than risk an incident with her on the plane. If I had to take her with me then I would get a small, soft sided carrier and fly with an airline that allowed her to travel with me in the passenger area. Not an option for larger dogs as I understand this issue. Someone else mentioned that United would not take it for transporting a pet in the baggage area due to the top door.

Also, I work at AA HDQ and it fit into the luggage sizer we have at out ticket counter. As previously mentioned, however, all luggage is subject to be treated differently depending on aircraft size, weight restrictions, etc. My flights were S80, 767 & 737s.

I also haven't flown Delta with this case, but I've done several trips across the Atlantic with it. I've never had anyone measure the case, they always seem more interested in weight. Worst case there are several good shipping services that will do door to door and aren't massively more expensive than airline prices.

Did u try it as carry on? I want to carry my All IN One 22.5 " as carry on, hope it doesn't get rejected as the baggage size now is 22" limit, but the other 2 dimensions are very small, so i hope all goes well...

I do not know the measurements of the box but airlines are typically great with checking baby items such as stroller, carrier, and portable crib for free as they are considered necessary items. We flew Delta in 7/12 with this travel system and it flew free. I will say they are VERY rough on your stuff. Expect scratches and etc. they will likely require you to open the box and you'll never get it back in at the airport. Ship it to your destination or check at home to see if you think u can get it back in box. I recommend renting a carrier bc they will chuck your stuff around and carseats are not meant to be handled this way. Call your airline.
