I am flying Southwest in 3 weeks with the large carrier. Has it been able to fit under the seat? Their website states that the height can only be 8.5"

Mark can you please tell me if this worked on the flight or if you used a different carrier? I'm moving cross country from GA to CA and need a carrier. Also flying on Southwest. I really appreciate your help!

Mark, haven't flown with it yet. I imagine that it would fit under the seat as it is somewhat flexible, but then again I am not sure how much room there is under the seat for it.... I just measured the height of the carrier I have and it was about 13 inches, when i squish it down it goes to about 9 or 10 inches... good luck

I traveled with the small version of this on Southwest and I still had room under the seat so I believe the big one would fit as well... besides when I flew they never really checked to make sure the bag was allllll the way under the seat and so I left it just basically at my feet then during the flight in my lap so I could comfort my little kitten inside. Since these squish down some I do not see it being an issue. I am going to be ordering the large size soon though since my kitten has outgrown the small size and will be flying with it in about 3 weeks.

I can't find anyone who has answered this. Will it fit under airplane seat.

yes, i have even placed mine below the seat in front of me on a commercial airline. i have the 22L & 30L and both fit on overhead. highly recommended.

We did not try. We put it in the overhead. I do not think it would fit under the seat if it was fully packed.

Yes, this carrier will fit with no problems. It is actually a very nice carrier, perfect for flying.

Yes, this definitely fits under an airplane seat. I've taken it on three flights and haven't had any issues.

Could you please check the measurements for me. I need to use it on a short airline flight and it must fit under the seat when turned sideways for takeoff and landing. the width ( front to back when standind) needs to be 8 inches.is this too big?

Yes. I've flown with it (packed tight-full) several times and it fits snugly under seats in Southwest's and United's planes, leaving a small amount of room - I can get one but not two feet under the seat with it.

You better check with United. I think they only allow certain dimensions. The extra large would probably be too big. Delta is the only airline I found who seemed flexible. They had one plane with a larger area under the seat in first class,but I am not sure with aircraft it was. It was like a 700 or 900. I never ended up using the carrier because it was for transporting a rescue dog (cairn terrier 14 lbs). The foster parents wanted to drive him. Good luck.

Hi, I didn't take it on a flight. But it is soft so it would squeeze under the seat. I got large and it fit my cat so she can stand up and move in it.I originally got it for my dog who is American Eskimo 15 pounds and the carrier was to small for him.

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.

I would check with the Airline first because you may have to put the travel carrier under your seat. The Airline may ask you for the dimensions of the travel carrier which are 10" wide x 12" deep x 15" high (17" high w/handle). 3/8" wire spacing. 3/4" diameter perch. I would like to also recommend 'Tips to boost your bird's comfort while traveling" http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?articleid=2603 Have a safe journey. Terri

I assume you are inquiring about the height. I, too, was concerned about not being able to meet the size requirements of the sleepypod. I didn't need to worry. On the three airlines and 5 different types of planes, I had no problems. Of course, some seats have smaller compartments than others, but there was only one where I encountered a height problem. It wasn't much of a problem because I just forced the top down and crammed it in.

My grandson has not tried but being a retired airline pilot and spending a lot of time in the back commuting to work I would say yes and no. Each airline has there own requirements. If you google the space under an airline seat it will show you each airlines requirement. Then you can compare it to the dimensions in the description.

This is a lot smaller then I thought. I have a 7 pound chi and it was too small. So, I think if you had a dog that would fit in it the airline would probably approve. It just has to be able to fit underneath the seat.

The Stroller I have is for big dogs so it would fold up and you could check it-but if you needed it for transport A buggy for cats would certainly be a lot smaller than mine. Still, I don't think that it would fit under the seat-I guess you could call the airline with measurements and see if they would allow it.

Yes, it fits under an airplane seat perfectly. I am coincidentally travelling while this question popped up, and took Skip hop grand with me.

No the large will not fit under the airline seat. The medium will fit a 20 lb dog but understand that it is not a "crate" and your dog will have to lay down.
