Has anyone used this bag and successfully flown with it on Southwest? Can the top be pushed down with cat in it to fit under airplane seat?

Yes my cat was out 5 minutes after she was put in this carrier. This may be most suitable for a small dog. It is only held down with Velcro on top. I really believe any animal could get out of this.

Yes. I used it on Southwest. It worked fine for my two 7 lb cats. It is not going to last you very long though. My cat tore at it and weakened the mesh. Also, the liner can't be machine washed. It was soiled after out trip. I actually bought 2 of these because of the good price and moved with 2 cats. But I ended up throwing them away unfortunately due to some damage and soiled floor. I did like it's function, weight, roominess.

I think you had better check the airline's requirements. This bag worked for me on American with 2 dogs in it. I did fly business class to have more space but my advantage was that no one at check in cared about my bag. I was first in line at 5AM and they just passed me on through with not even a look. It definitely collapses as shown, but it does of course expand to the sides when the top is pushed down. My guys love it - they go in it to sleep now!!!

It folds in half so I would think so, but I don't know the size requirements of airlines these days. If it's Southwest, it might be a little wider than that small window they have you put your bag through. But the weight shouldn't be an issue.

I have not tried this. When I used it on a long trip, I packed it in my rolling duffle bag. However, I would not expect to put mine under the seat, I would expect to put it in the overhead at a minimum. Sorry I can't answer directly.

The bag fit perfectly with southwest which are Boeing planes. My dog is a 13 pound Bichon mix and he had plenty of room to turn around. It might be a tight fit for 15 but I think it is doable.

Mine fit right under the seat on the Southwest Airline plane. Keep in mind you will only be able to put it under a middle seat. It would not fit under the aisle or window seat in front.

Hi Dana I checked the size on southwest website there required sze is 19L-14W-9H for window seat middle seat is 19L-19W-9H. I called the Airline to let them know that I was traveling with a pet and to make sure that the info on there web site was correct. I'm glad I did because on Delta they have certain planes that except pets. Maybe calling the Airline they will give you the correct info. I hope I helped you in someway have a safe flight.

I flew Southwest and AirTran last week, carried it on, no problems. Fit in the overhead with plenty of extra room to spare.

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.

I fly every week and this is my "under the seat" bag. You could probably overfill it so it would not, But I pack mine pretty good & have yet to be on an airplane it would not fit under. The smaller CRJ & Embraer have no problem. In fact it will fit on the short side, 1st class overhead on an Embraer 175! Surprising, some of the larger airplanes have a lot going on under the seat & sometimes the Molle straps get caught up, but it has always fit. it is the perfect size for just this use. I only fly with a tablet & there is more than enough room in the Hydration pouch for a 10.1". My 15" laptop even fit in there, it is tight, but it fits. The nice thing is, if you use the hydration pouch and put the zippers all the way down, they are hidden behind the strap, so it hard to notice the compartment is there, let alone for a thief to get in!

I am pretty sure it does. I believe it fits under an airline seat. It says it is for a 13 lb cat my cat weighs in at 11 something and is very tall so would have a hard time under an airline seat unless he was crunched down the whole time.Hope that helps. I did not use it on an airline just saw someone with a similar kennel cab and they had used in on a plane.

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.

Go with the southwest bag and get a window seat where the under seat compartment is more roomy. This bag with a dome arrives folded, and with a kink in the dome framing.nwhen you put it under a plane seat it cramps into the dog area and is very confining.mi ended up purchasing the southwest bag, and my dog was very relaxed in it curled up napping. I think that southwest square bag would be just fine for your dog.

I just used this to take my Maine Coon Cat to Az and back to Maine which I used Southwests I placed the carrier under the seat in front of me the carrier is great and it fit fine under the seat. My cat was in this carrier for 12 hours and was great. I love this carrier and would suggest it for anyone who flies with an animal.

Not really unless you are in first class and can put it under two seats. It is helpful while traveling though especially through airport and hotels etc. You may want to see if your airline lets strollers up to gate then takes them and then get a shoulder bag for under seat for your cat or dog in flight. It folds relatively flat so works great for car travel, even some restaurants will let you park it near your table on there deck. I do love mine and use it while running errands so I don't have to leave my dog in the car.

That depends on the airline and how stuffed you have the bag. It's about 11.5" deep with a laptop in the back pocket, dslr and two lenses in the center section, and without anything in the front pocket. It wouldn't fit under most Southwest seats, which I think allow less than 10" in height under the seat.

I have yet to fly Southwest with my bag, (next week I will), but on other airlines it has fit very well underneath the seats. And I have my bag full.
