Which airline have you used this carrier on and fit it under the seat in front?? I plan on bringing my pug on a JetBlue flight. Thank you!

We used Delta Airlines and carrier fit perfectly under seat in front of us! Worked great because it could be used as back pack or rolled!

If it is for traveling with the pet in-cabin, it seems it may NOT work. The carrier must fit under the front seat. Check with the airline you will use. But I checked in the United Airlines and it says that for hard carriers the measurements must be: 17.5x12x7.5. This carrier is based on my quick measurement: 18.5x9.75x11 (however, online it is: 19x12.6x5 inches. The 5 inches is half the height as when it is folded in half). You may want to check with the airline you are planning on using. For in-cabin pet travel, I use the soft carriers when I travel with my cat. United web site: http://www.united.com/web/en-US/content/travel/animals/in_cabin.aspx If your pet has to be "shipped" because it cannot travel in-cabin, I would NOT recommend this carrier since it is way to soft for shipping. I would look for something made of harder material. I use this carrier to transport my dwarf rabbit from home to the vet or to get his nails done. But not for long trips since the material is soft. Hope this helped!

I have no idea, but I just measured my doxie and she is 21" long, weighs 18 lbs. I don't think she would fit in this or fit under a seat. Unfortunately I will not leave her home and will not put her in the cargo hold of the plane. I guess I don't travel then!

They are too large for in cabin travel. As far as under the plane, I would check wit the airline you are using. Pet travel has become more regulated (which is good) but also less uniform so each airline has slightly different rules.

I traveled with my Boston Terrier on a Southwest airlines flight, the carrier fit comfortably underneath the middle aisle seat. I did purchase a carry on travel tote with wheels at Kohl's (collapsed, easy to store in the overhead bin). The Sherpa fit perfectly the tote and made it super easy to navigate throughout the airport - highly recommend a travel tote along with the Sherpa.

I used the case for my 17pound dog and found the zipper to not be strong enough for me to let it out of my site.i would ask airline if you have that ?.good luck

Unfortunately it does not fit under a plane seat. Your pet would have to be placed in an area designated for animals, presumably under the plane somewhere. It broke my heart not having my cat with me. It worked out well. He was comfortable, warm with his blankets, water & food. I even covered his carrier with an additional blanket for extra privacy & darkness that cats like. If there's a layover, you may be able to take your pet on a leash walk & or attend to them why you guys wait.

Hello Adele, this carrier meets airline standard, in that the bag fits perfectly under the seat in front of you. I have not had a problem as I travel twice each month from the east to the west coast and back.

It fit under the seat for my Lufthansa flight. It will be tight but just enough! I'm happy I bought this carrier. I've used it afterwards for taking my 15lb/6kg cat to the vet while riding my bike.

I think on all airline websites they will say what the measurements are. I fly only with Westjet and US Airways and never have had a problem. And I've been using it for over 6-8 return trips. My carrier is around 17x15 and my dog is a 9lb havanese. Any bigger carrier would not fit under a regular seat. Don't know about first class.

Worked great for traveling with a kitten. Bag fit under the airplane seat. It isn't terribly wide or long (height should be fine). I would measure your dog and check bag dimensions before purchase.

I bought the medium Oxford carrier and it has an airline approved sticker on it. If it is a little taller, it will collapse under the seat in front of you. That is why they are made flexible at the top. There should be no problem if yours has an airline sticker on it. My experience with flying with my poms is that they lie down for the trip anyway. They fall to sleep as soon as the plane takes off.

I honestly don't know whether it will fit under a seat on a plane. I use this for my small cat and it's a great little carrier to go back and forth to vet, but I've never actually tried to put it under any kind of seat. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

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.

Have an 27 lb Chinese pug who has traveled the past 7 weeks in our carrier (it has been broken down to half capacity) he has done wonderfully in it, but not sure how a larger dog would do in it. He has. Had plenty of room but is a third of the size being asked about.

The large will fit under middle and window seats on SW, not under aisle seats. My 16 lb havanese fits nicely - cannot stand up inside, but seems content and comfy. A 20 pound dog will fit in the carrier, may be a bit snug.We have been on six short 2 hour flights with no problem.....sometines he's gotten so comfortable in the carrier thst we have to drag him out. Happy travels!

Yes. It's perfect for going under the seat in front of you on a plane. Much more flexible than many other soft sided pet carriers.
