## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this bag work for Alaska Airlines?**
A: AA's current size limit is 17" x 11" x 9.5". However, I spoke to customer care this morning and they said the 1" difference would be fine since a soft-sided bag will bend and fit under the seat. I haven't actually taken this on a flight yet though - just talked to customer service over the phone.

**Q: Will a mini snchauzer fit in this**
A: I have a 15 pound chihuahua mix who is built a bit 'sturdy & stout' and he fit, but there wasn't much room to spare. I have the medium, which barely does fit under the seat of both Delta & American Airlines that i traveled -- I also purchased the extra leg room, which helps. You really have to measure your dog as weight isn't always indicator. If your dog is slightly built and not as tall they will fit better. If they are more stocky built and taller, they may not fit as well. And I don't see how the large size will fit in most (or all) airlines 'under seats' where our dogs have to go.

**Q: Can you take this on southwest airlines?**
A: From The S/W Site.....
Acceptable Pet Carriers:
The Southwest Airlines Pet Carrier (17” long x 9.5” high x 10” wide).
Other pet carriers with maximum dimensions of 18.5” long x 8.5” high x 13.5” wide.

**Q: How many adult cats can fit in this particular size carrier?**
A: Two ten pound cats will fit in this carrier. No problem.   I have two fifteen pound cats and its very tight.  But I'm still going to put them in.  They like tight places so....  Of note, they both love this carrier and fight over who gets to play in it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made Airline Travel A Breeze
*by C***C on November 18, 2024*

My cat is a long dude and weighs 8.5 lbs - he fit well in the carrier. Seemed comfortable. He did have a brief freak out (there was a dog), but did not seem to be able to chew through or scratch the fabric. When we aren't traveling, he likes to sit in it, which is such a good sign. I enjoyed having multiple options with the smaller handles and the longer side strap. It also fits incredibly well on the top of my rolling suitcase - which made navigating through the airport a breeze. It was a bit bouncier when I was physically carrying it than his other carrier, but when secured to the top of the luggage, it was great. The fabric made it easier to fit under the seat in front of me, but also kept enough space so he didn't get squished. He also gets very motion sick, so ventilation was really important to us - he got a lot of airflow. This carrier was perfect - lots of ventilation, but he could still stay not super visible (which he prefers). One side does not have the mesh but a pocket instead. This worked great to hold his vaccination papers, and when there was a little bit too much stimulation, I could turn him away so he could only see me. I was very happy with this product and would highly recommend to anyone traveling via airplane.
