will Alaska Airlines accept the Igo2 Traveler pet carrier for under seats?

Personally, although this is my number one way of transporting my baby, I would be reluctant to bring it on an airplane. It is a little too big, and not flexible to try and fit under a seat.

If you want to know what Alaska Airlines accepts, go to the website and look it up. They print the exact dimensions of the under-seat area.

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 .

I doubt it would fit. It's a pretty tall carrier. You're better off looking for something that's more horizontal and, of course, calling the airline to find out what their requirements are.

It fit under the seat for my Lufthansa flight. It will be tight but just enough! I'm happy I bought this carrier. I've used it afterwards for taking my 15lb/6kg cat to the vet while riding my bike.

The carrier does fit under the seat. Actually, it depends on what airlines you fly. I flew Southwest and it fit under the middle seat with no problems. I did my research first. Southwest has a little more space then most airlines. You might want to google whatever airlines you are flying, for eligible carriers.

I purchased this carrier for our 10 wk old Appenzeller to fly in. I would suggest the large size The large size still fits under the plane seat if you need to fly, but gives the dog room to turn around. I love this bag, storage compartments, sturdy air screens to allow air put strong enough to not let the dog out.

It doesn't need to be airline-approved, but it does need to meet your particular airline's requirements for pets in the cabin. I checked with various airlines that I considered flying, and it met all of their requirements. I eventually used it on Alaska Airlines. This carrier has a handy zippered porthole to pet the animal without allowing much room for it to get out. Airline rules say the entire animal must remain inside the carrier at all times. This carrier also has seat belt guides, so it can be placed on a seat and buckled in securely. We fortunately had an empty seat next to us, so I did this for part of the flight, and did not have to pay for a second seat at full fare!

Yes as long as you place the carrier on its back with the screen up. About 2-4 inches of the bottom of the carrier is almost flush with the seat in front of you. Also most airlines won't allow you to put the carrier by a a bulkhead between coach and first class. My dog RT has made several trips to Kentucky and back in this device. It is easy to unzip in the airport while waiting for your connection. I would hope more airports would make dog rest areas available to passengers traveling with pets.

Yes! I own a small and a medium. I've used both in cabin. However, the aisle (and window) seats tend to be very narrow. Both carriers have to go in "head" first under the aisle seats in coach. The window seats can be harder to get the carrier in to place no matter which size. I usually lay the carrier down in the aisle and slide it along the floor into the slot. Otherwise you have to tip the carrier on it's end (head) almost vertical to slide it between the seats and into place. It's definitely worth it to upgrade to an "economy plus" or other roomier seat when traveling with animals in cabin no matter what type of carrier you have.

You would have to call airline to see if they allow pets. It fit perfect under the seat for Delta. Love the design. Lots of ventilation. My dog had room to turn around. She weighed 14lbs. Very sturdy.

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

The large will fit under middle and window seats on SW, not under aisle seats. My 16 lb havanese fits nicely - cannot stand up inside, but seems content and comfy. A 20 pound dog will fit in the carrier, may be a bit snug.We have been on six short 2 hour flights with no problem.....sometines he's gotten so comfortable in the carrier thst we have to drag him out. Happy travels!

I don't think so; I would not want to think of my bird in cargo in this but haven't traveled internationally. I know that my sister has done so with her Jardine's but she has used a small underseat carrier when flying. This carrier is the wrong dimensions for underseat use.

Hi there! We own the medium carrier and used it to transport our two parakeets by car for our cross- country move. It is very well made and sturdy and not so sure it would fit under the airline seat. It is not all that malleable. Wonder if u could find out from the airline the max height that could fit under the seat.

It should work so long as your dog has sufficient room within the carrier. Keep in mind that IF the airline requires the carrier to be stowed underneath a seat, the carrier has to 'flex' to fit (not all airline seats have the same available space).

FAA allows airlines to set their own requirements so you need to check with the airline. There is really no such thing as FAA approved. The Bergan carrier fits under the seat in front of me in most aircraft and their literature says that. That is what most airlines require if they allow pets in the passenger cabin. if you are flying the pet as cargo you have to have a different type of carrier.

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.

Definitely check with the airline. Softsided crates such as the Sherpa are often permitted for small dogs/puppies and cats for under the seat in the cabin. This crate has an aluminum frame that may not work for under the seat. Soft crates are NOT permitted for larger dogs shipped in the cargo area. Those crates need solid sides such as plastic or metal. They must be large enough for the dog to stand up, have food/water dishes, be labelled as containing a live animal, and have ventilation.
