Has anyone travelled with this on Southwest recently? Going from PHX to DIA and back in Oct. need a carrier for my 20in long, 20 lb, 13in high pup.

Sorry Meghan I don't have an answer. I haven't used the carrier yet. I am flying on Southwest from New Jersey to PHX in November so I would be very grateful if you reported your experience after your flight. I will report on my flight in November.

I used it on Southwest and it fit just fine. I have a 3.5 pound dog so she had plenty if room in the bag.

I have a 55lb pittie mix with GIANT ears. I raised that same question with the cargo handlers and they said as long as his head wasn't touching he was ok, BUT that TSA would have the final say since he was flying as a cargo passenger and not on a cargo plane.My best advice is to touch base with your carrier directly and/or TSA.

That's a tough question - I can put a 24 lb Corgi in easily because we teach it to go in and out before a flight. Depending on how slender they are and length of legs etc. I am sure you could get two in okay but then try getting the third in there and the others not liking it. If this is for a flight I do not think they would allow 3 in the same carrier but for a road trip maybe and I mean "maybe". I love my large Sherpa on wheels - wish I could help more definitively

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.

Yes, a crate this size could not be carried by a single handle anyways. I shipped from DFW to Mexico City with no problems anyways. You may want to check with the airlines you plan to use ahead of time "just in case", they all can vary a bit in their policy.

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!

the carrier is very nice, and I've taken it on AA and others, but not internationally. My pup has now outgrown it at 20 lbs so I have used a larger Sherpa bag I've had forever.

I purchased the intermediate size which more than accommodates my 19-lb feline. Plenty of room to spare once she settles in. While cats and dogs take up space differently, my feeling is that the LARGE carrier would be a comfortable accomodation for your buddy, likely with room to spare for a pad.

My 17 lb. pup traveled with ease in the Lg.-size Sturdi-bag carrier on Southwest Airlines. You'll need to sit in a middle seat in order to have enough under-seat room. You may wish to remove the light-weight "board" in bottom of carrier, but it slides back in easily & carrier does not need to be opened to do so, as there is a zippered compartment for it.

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

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.

Yes, we've only flown on Southwest with our Large SturdiBag and have had no problems at all. The one thing you might find depending on the plane you're on is that you may have to tip the bag to the side to get it to fit between the seats. To get it to slide under the seat, you have to push down on the top, but it pops back up once you get it back as far as possible.

I used this carrier to fly two dogs to HI on United. Just make sure you follow the airline's rules for your dog's size and carrier size. That information is posted on United's website.

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.

Yes! I travel ed with 8 week PupPy who weighed 5 lbs. Had bowl, chew toy and blanket inside with him for 3 hours. He was so comfortable no one but flight attendants knew I had a dog with me. It was easy on my shoulder moving through airport also. Loved it and highly recommend it.

The pet carrier is quite big. but it is super safe and great for our pug. However she rides in it attached to the seat and the oposit side of our luggage rack . She rides on my husbands streetglide so with the saddle bags it doesn't seem like it's so big .It definitely would have to go on the seat and the backrest as the secure spot on my softail because my rack is very small.
