The height is 13" on one end of carrier. How do you flatten it down so it fits under the airplane seat?

Small end goes under seat first , it will go under seat, doesn't look like it will but it does, it does flatten out a bit.

This carrier will fit under most aircraft seats, except the window seats, put the low end in first.

This is not designed to flatten and raise up in an instant. Yes it can be flattened but not without effort. It really needs to stay in one position most of the time. It's basically a steel frame and you attach the carrier to it by Velcro. I wish I could say that's an easy process but it is not.

probably not, but you can call the airline carrier regarding its weight and dimensions

Not sure, didn't purchase it for that reason. It does fold up fairly flat, so I guess if the airline can take the size, don't see why it couldn't. Guess you would have to ask the airline for sure....... I too purchased this to transport my Mom to Dr. appt's and the such. The care facility she was in only had the big bulky wheel chairs, I chose not to use because of the size and weight lifting into my SUV. This chair is very light and moves easily.

When folded down, it's roughly 32 inches long, 19" wide and 14" high. Your airline can tell you the dimensions for under the seat. It would likely fit in an overhead bin, if not under the seat.

I would have to say, I'm not sure. Most seats seem to have a metal box under them now (not sure what for), and I've had trouble getting under seat items to fit that used to. This carrier is bigger on the bottom, as you can see in the photo. The flat end would fit, but not sure about the expanded bottom side. Sorry I can't be more sure.

I just used this carrier in the cabin on United Airlines in July of 2014. We have a 12 pound poodle that used the carrier. We were on both large and small planes and the carrier worked on all of the planes. It fit nicely under the seat. I did have to flex it a little to slide it under the seat. When we were flying, the airline never measured the case or checked the size. I still recommend following the guidelines because the dimensions are designed to fit under the seat. I would buy this again.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember precisely. I looked up a picture of the Pilot, though, and it appears you'd have enough room. The bed frame is in pieces, so that shouldn't be much of a problem. The mattress is air compressed, so I think you could fold that over if necessary. Sorry I can't be more specific, but if I had to guess, I think it would fit.

Hi and it will flatten out to about 3" high but if a heavy object is stored on the top it will go even further. So, I would suggest packing it on the bottom as the material is very durable and can be washed easily. Hope this helps!

It is not easy to get under the seat if you are not in first or business class. It fits under the seat and smooch down and expands sidewise. l However I broke one of the fiberglass rods in mine trying to get it between the seats. I hope this helps.

The package is too large to check on a flight, unless you repackage it yourself. I don't remember the exact dimensions, sorry. Good luck! It's a nice bench.

It does not fully collapse and cannot be flattened. However this carrier is great quality and I would highly recommend.

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!

According to the manual, it is approved for use and will fit on airplanes. It is 14.5" at armrest height, most US carriers have a seat width of between 17.5 and 18" in economy, so you should be good.

Sorry to take so long to respond. The carrier does not fold at all. It must be completely dismantled which takes about 15 minutes, with practice.

It comes in two boxes, neither one will fit the airline carry on dimensions. I agree with Ryan, ship them directly to where you are assembling.

Yes. It is adjustable to fit under the airplane's seat. It is reduced by 1" at each side.

No it doesn't fit down isles, we recently traveled and tried it. I just folded it up before we got on the plane and put it in the car seat while carrying it on, luckily my toddler could walk to our seats.
