I'm flying Alaska Airlines - has anyone who purchased this size carrier have any problems with fitting it under the seats for this airline?

No it will collapse under the seat around the animal. I did not have any problem with it fitting. Now I flew Delta a larger plane. I am not sure about the smaller airlines.

This carrier has been the best one I've purchased yet! Mainly because of the wheels, but since I recently used it, I also like how my pet is able to see me through the mesh. As for it fitting under the seat, I flew Air Tran from Ft Lauderdale to Idianapolis and it fit perfectly. I didn't even have to remove the wheels!

I traveled with my Boston Terrier on a Southwest airlines flight, the carrier fit comfortably underneath the middle aisle seat. I did purchase a carry on travel tote with wheels at Kohl's (collapsed, easy to store in the overhead bin). The Sherpa fit perfectly the tote and made it super easy to navigate throughout the airport - highly recommend a travel tote along with the Sherpa.

It really depends on the airline, for international travels I thin it fits mostly with all the carriers but we did face some issues in domestic airlines like Alaska Airlines. However in any case the airlines did gate check them for no additional cost and we were able to pick them up as soon as you exit the aircraft.

NO- I just had to return two of these because they have the door on the top, Alaska Airlines Air cargo will not allow them. I loved the carriers but the top door just won't work for shipping them through the airlines. =(

I am sorry I do not know as I have a large dog who defiantly will not fit under the seat. You could contact the Air line you plan to use they are very helpful explaining what you can use. The small carriers I have seen on an air line.

Yes and no. I have been able to fit it when one of the first to board the plane but also have been forced to check it when one of the last to board and overhead space is tight. I would suggest not over stuffing it and giving it a go!!

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 have had no problems putting it under a seat on domestic or international flights. It does tent to get caught on flap for the front pocket so I slide it under the seat upside down to avoid that.

So far we haven't any problems with that. My husband can fit it under the seat but I don't think it's packed as full as it could be. Should be fine in the overhead compartments for sure! We got the 20 Liter Capacity size, not that big. Hope this helps.

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

I've only ever done so when flying with Emirates, but they didn't have any issues with it. It won't fit under the seats like a smaller backpack might, but it works in the overhead bins just fine.

The carrier was very comfortable for my 14 lb. dog. Putting 3-l3-pound cats in the carrier would be cruel, that's 39 lbs. of legs and fur, no room to move or breath and stay cool. three kittens no problem.Remember if you are flying with your pet, they are under a seat, it can be quite warm for the pet under that seat. I had to ask for water during the flight to keep my dog cool. Three is too much company, and the large carrier exceeded the measurements of the airline's standards.

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 have not used it in that way, but it will definitely fit underneath the seat in front of you!I am guessing that there is information available on your air carrier's website.

Hi. I've only traveled domestic airlines with this carrier - southwest, delta, virgin. It seems to fit best under the seat closest to the window just because it allows for some leg room along the side. It also fits fine under the middle and aisle seats, but without much room for your legs.
