Questions & Answers

Do you know if this carrier flies through AirTran or Southwest? Are you satisfied with the fit?

When I traveled across the country on both AirTran and Southwest, I used this carrier. Even if it were larger, it wouldn't be a good thing. Because the underside of the seat in front of you slopes down a little bit, the end of the carrier that you push furthest under the seat in front of you gets a little crunched. Although my dog exceeds the recommended size, there was still plenty of room in the carrier. You might have to push it under the seat a bit to get it under there. Due to the soft nature of this carrier In addition, it allows for a certain amount of flexibility in Overall, I'm very happy with the carrier and have no complaints about his services.

Is this big enough to fit a mini schnauzer?

My dog is a 15-pound Chihuahua mix who is built at a bit of a sturdy build He was quite stout, and he was able to fit in, but there wasn't much room for Both Delta & Virgin Airlines have medium size bags that barely fit under the seats During my travels with American Airlines, I was able to Besides purchasing the extra leg room, I also purchased the extra space to accommodate my feet. As the weight of your dog isn't always indicative of its health, you should measure it. You will be able to fit your dog better if he or she is built slightly differently and not as tall. Their size may not fit them if they are stockier built or taller. I cannot see how the large size fits in airports (or all airlines' classes of service) where our dogs must go under the seats.

Does Southwest Airlines allow you to take this on their plane?

It's a knockoff! The name SHERA
3/5

Not one for writing reviews, I'm afraid. My anger was stoked however when I realized this was a copy. There was no doubt I was getting a good The Amazon business model is kind of like that. As you can't put a price on a puppy, I went to Petsmart and bought a Sherpa that was the real deal. The attached photos are in PDF format. There is a purple and a black "Sherra," and the sherpa is a representative of the army.

I'm very pleased with it
5/5

Returned to flying after a long time. It did not appear that the dog was bothered. The qualifier is In my case, I bought this bag specifically to transport my dog with me when I travel On board a plane, in the cabin. do not intend to use it as a crate that I use on a daily basis. Despite its soft sides, it is collapsible to fit in tight places so that it can fold up and fit into it. This is a nice bag. I bought the large one that fits my 15-inch phone. A dog that weighs eight pounds. A dog mat with a soft fleeced fake sheepskin floor is mounted on a 1/8" or 3/16" rigid board, so your pet can have a thick, full-floor mat for a solid base. My experience so far has been positive. It seems to hold up well so far. The zipper is tight and zips tightly. I put some flat folded paper towels in case there is a leak (from the dog) in the side pocket that holds the treats, poop bags, and I also include some flat pockets on the side. Consequently, it can be stowed under the front seats of a Boeing 737-500 A brand new Boeing 737-800 was used for the first two photos In a 3-hour flight on Southwest, you'll pay $800 In an aisle It is the 3 configuration, and I have a seat near the window. In my family, my 10 year old daughter would like to have our 15 year old son. There was an 8 lb long haired dachshund in front of her, but during the flight, he started to fuss a bit, so my bag was moved under the seat in front of me, There is a little more legroom between the benches in the middle seat with slightly more room between the bench supports. The window seat has the least amount of legroom because the fuselage curvature has eaten into the floor space on that side. In addition, I flew on an older Air Canada Airbus A319 (photo 3 and photo 7) and that time it was an aisle seat, which was also no issue. As someone who wears size 9 shoes, weighs 145 pounds, and stands 5' 8" tall, I'm not that big. Your mileage, as they say, may vary, especially if you're also sitting next to a big guy. It also seems that the aisle seat is more conducive to air circulation and ventilation. Having foot traffic around your pet may keep them entertained at the very least.

Photo 4 shows how the top zipper opens and your pet can explore. It allows the head to look around while still keeping most of the body in place if he isn't an overly squirrelly creature. Photo 5 and 6 are a photo I took to illustrate the difficulty of carrying around a 22lb bag It weighs approximately 4 lbs. (the bag weights about 4 lbs.

The Cat Friendly Carrier is well designed
5/5

Then hit HELPFUL if this review helped in any way, either positively or negatively! By doing so, I will be encouraged to continue writing real reviews for the products that I have The pros are Comparatively cheap (prices vary by color, so look at all the colors) * Well designed for cats * Allows you to pet and calm your cat without removing the carrier * Well stitched * Smart design * Easy to fold The size of the cage should be determined by the length and height of your animal, not its weight. The large size is suitable for my cat, which weighs ten pounds. It has a small hole along stitching on inside I would have returned it right away but I need the carrier I notice another hole forming * Strong chemical smell which is dissipating slowly makes me wonder if it was returned, cleaned, and then repackaged. (I would return the carrier for a perfect one rather than a near perfect one if I didn't need it right away. Okay, this is something I would buy Yes, that's for sure!
This carrier gets one star off for the design. However, I do think you should purchase well in advance of your need to use it, so that you can return if it is not perfect. I am writing to you Tuesday, January 2nd, 2019 A brief update Adding another star to this carrier makes it even more appealing to my cat. It is a fact that she kept trying to get out the carrier several times the first time, but when she realized she couldn't easily scratch her way out, My favorite feature of this carry-on is that it's much smaller than the hardshell carrier I had earlier. Please note It is not recommended to drive a car or zip a zipper while When using top, use the revert feature so that it is easier The front is zippier than the zip. It is also possible to use a rope instead of a seat belt to secure the carrier to the front seat of the car. Just tie the rope through the handles of the One more thing, if I leave the carrier's door open and leave it out overnight the night before I leave for a trip, that's where my cat slept the night before. Not sure which is superior, but not going to risk getting in an accident. Her paw of approval goes out to this carrier from an 18 year old female cat named Frankie. I appreciate you taking the time to read my review and thank you for it. Thank you for reviewing this and please give a thumbs up to this. There is no such thing as a fake. It has been over twenty years since I became an Amazon customer. It is not my responsibility to get paid for I wouldn't mind being there (not that I personally have an aversion to it. have Amazon Prime so that I am able to receive any benefits that come with.

Southwest Airlines is a great carrier
5/5

I own an XL and travel Southwest. As it turned out, we were able to fit our 27 lb. "thick" dog in the large. My pug flew Southwest without a problem, but I doubt a pet that large would fit. He had room to turn and lie down, but I doubt a pet that large would either. To give you a sense of the size of the little guy, it measures 22 inches long (excluding the The next step we took was to train him to get in a few weeks before travel, so that he would be fine for a couple hours in there. Some people have reported zipper failure, but we did not see any. Despite being stiff, the bed seemed comfortable, and the carrier held its shape nicely when being carried.
