Has anyone used this carrier on Delta/ airlines? I'm looking to get the small (20x14x14). Will it be approved? Thanks!

I know the Sherpa bag size M is approved and that one is 17x11x10.5, for pets up to 16lb. Thats the biggest one approved as a carry on. I think the one you are looking at are too big. If the pets not a carry on size he/she needs to be in a approved plastic or metal crate. Good luck :)

we have never used it on an airlines. Only at home and in the car. Our cockapoo is able to unzip the flap and get out of the carrier.

Yes, we flew with it installed in Delta economy. I recommend asking for a seat belt extender as soon as you board to help with installation because it makes it much easier and this way you don't run the risk of the belt buckle being in a spot you can't reach when it comes time to detach the seat. It's a possibility with this seat or any big seat. It happened to us with a big Britax seat and airplane maintenance had to come help us get it out. This is a big seat and there is some hassle involved just with carrying the thing and getting it in place. All things told, though, we choose to do it for safety.

I see no reason why it wouldn't meet approval BUT knowing the FAA, rather than guess, I went to the FAA site at http://www.faa.gov/passengers/fly_children/ and could not find a list of accepted or rejected seats. Also, I could not find anything on the seat saying it was approved. There's a chance I missed something but I suggest researching it further or waiting for another responder to clarify the issue. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

We used this as a carrier on United, no problems at all. Not sure about each airlines' restrictions...

No problem. I haven't had any airline, including Delta, ever tell me this bag was too big to carry-on.

14 9/16 plus or minus 1/16. This can be a problem when you get a seat where the seat in front of you has the narrow spacing. I have only been on one plane that even putting it at a diagonal didn't help and I had to put it overhead. The depth of the bottom of the pack is about 9" which means that generally you have to put the pack in handle first, although some of the small regional jets and plane have really high under-seat space. The length of the pack is 21", which means it doesn't really fit completely under the seat in front of you, but I have never been called on that and I have flown on at least 40 to 70 planes a year for several years with this pack. the most annoying thing about it is that it tends to fall forward when loaded up a bit. The pack is so useful and rugged that I still will probably get another one. This pack would be just about perfect if it was 2" shorter, 1" less deep, a bit more stable in the forward falling department, and dispensed winning lottery tickets. If size is not a problem (don't fly United, it is) then it is a great pack despite some short-comings. If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Yes! I fly Delta exclusively and have never had a problem, even on the tiny commuter planes. It does not legally conform to standards, but I have flown on maybe 30 flights over the last 3 years and have never been hassled.

Did u try it as carry on? I want to carry my All IN One 22.5 " as carry on, hope it doesn't get rejected as the baggage size now is 22" limit, but the other 2 dimensions are very small, so i hope all goes well...

Someone else mentioned that United would not take it for transporting a pet in the baggage area due to the top door. So I would suspect is it NOT approved for airline travel. Probably need one with a solid top for that. However, transporting a pet in the cargo hold on an airplane is risky for your pet anyway. Check with the SPSCC and other similar agencies for their views on this issue. I would probably leave my dog home rather than risk an incident with her on the plane. If I had to take her with me then I would get a small, soft sided carrier and fly with an airline that allowed her to travel with me in the passenger area. Not an option for larger dogs as I understand this issue.

Hi, we haven't flown with it yet (but we will in April, when we go on a trip to California). Best is to check with the airline. We flown to Europe in October and called the airline to find out their policy on carrying baby stuff and they were extremely helpful, so that's our recommendation. And once you know the policy, would you mind sharing it with us? Thank you and sorry we couldn't be of any assistance :)

I bought this in a small for a Senegal or Meyers. Neither bird is very comfortable in it. It is too large for them. Your bird may be a better fit for a small. as your bird is probably 3X larger. I would not get a carrier larger if what you are using it for is to carry your bird around for fairly short trips. your bird is short tailed so do not need to adjust size for long tail feathers.

I have only used it on frontier airlines... The bottom is a little large , have push it down to get under seat, doesn't fit well on smaller planes. Roomy for my shih tzu , I have left it unzipped with her little head sticking out and she just sleeps. Not sure there is an in between size, to small isn't good .

least jetblue does not agree, but amazon sell the carrier approved by the airline . Do not forget that the maximum weight of the dog with the carrier are 20 pounds

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

We used Delta Airlines and carrier fit perfectly under seat in front of us! Worked great because it could be used as back pack or rolled!

The carriers are airline friendly on most airlines. You need to check with your airline specifics to ensure it will fit under the seat. The carrier will collapse about 5" in height. We have flown with the large but not extra large. We have friends that have flown with this extra large on Luftansa. I hope this helps.

It's a great case for the money and I have traveled with on Delta Air Lines and no problem getting it and checked by TSA. Inside it's 51x11x2.5 inch's with the foam padding. It has 3 latch's with 3 locking points. :-)
