Is the top flexible or can it smash down in height? American Airlines allows for 9" in height but says will allow soft carriers to be a bit taller.

yes you can smash it down. I've flown on Lufthansa many times with it. also delta but I don't recommend delta because they are easy more expensive and you basically have to have the dog on top of your feet because nothing fits under their seats sure to the tv boxes.I fly internationally with my dog on Lufthansa every few months the past 3 years with no problems.

Top of carrier is soft not rigid, so it has a tendency for the top to collapse on itself. Would not purchase again. Fine if used as a carrier to walk around with a small dog in a bag. My 6 lb chihuahua fits but anything over probably 8-10 lbs might be too big.

Yes it's fabric on top. There's a zipper on top so pet can be taken out thru top or either side

As far as I know, either a 4", 6" or 8" will work. I don't know about the 9" but cannot imagine why not. The differences will be in the resultant height of the portion on which one sits. When I had an 8" & a similar frame several years ago, I would arrange it & then kinda plop on it a few times or stand on it & stomp it into submission. Now I have a 4" & it's a breeze to fold & manipulate especially as I'm in my mid-60s & no longer as buff & strong as in yesteryears. If these solutions don't please you, you can always single layer it by allowing 1/3 to fall over the top... then shove it against a wall to secure in place. If you leave the frame in the position as shown in the photo then you are looking at single layering it & no problem. Good luck & hope this has helped.

It would be pretty beat up. For example, at 130 lb I don't think I could stand on top in the middle. I probably wouldn't send it through on an airline.

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.

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.

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.

My carrier measures 13 inches high X 9 inches wide X 20 inches long. I don't know if it is airline approved, because I haven't flown with my pet.

Don't know current airline requirements. Having stowed underseat items in years past, my recall is this carrier would be too large = apx 24 long x 15 high x 15-1/2 wide.

I purchased this product to carry my 3.5 lb kitten & it's pretty low from top to bottom and hard plastic. I didn't think it would be comfortable for my kitty & I flew American Airlines whose website said that the animal had to be able to stand up and turn around & it had to be open on one side. I ended up buying a Sherpa soft-sided bag that I can carry on my shoulder and it is guaranteed that certain airlines will take it. I'm very happy with it as you can bend the edges if necessary, but has a wire frame to protect the cat (and I can still use it as the cat has grown). Make sure that you check Delta's website for their specific requirements including dimensions, vet certificates & vaccinations.

Peggy,I haven't tried to adjust the height as it was fine right out of the box. It does appear to be adjustable but not sure of the range. As others noted, it is not soft but I love how stable it feels (I'm a big guy) and it is one of the best business chairs I've ever owned.

This crate is airline capable but many airlines won't take a crate this big. They often won't go bigger than a 500 size and this is a 700 size.

I assume you are inquiring about the height. I, too, was concerned about not being able to meet the size requirements of the sleepypod. I didn't need to worry. On the three airlines and 5 different types of planes, I had no problems. Of course, some seats have smaller compartments than others, but there was only one where I encountered a height problem. It wasn't much of a problem because I just forced the top down and crammed it in.

Absolutely not! You need a bag that they can stand up in and be completely zipped in. This bag is meant for head and front legs to hang out. Only the bum and back legs are in the bag. Airline bag must be no more than 13" high. Call the airline for sizes.

No. Its dimensions are larger than the ones allowed by the airlines. It will have to be checked in at the counter.

I have. However I've read that American Airlines is the only airline who won't gate check a stroller heavier than 20 pounds. I guess I'll find out soon because we booked a trip with AA. And I am going to take this stroller. No problem with any other airlines I've travelled (United, Delta)

It is not that flexible. It would have to fold up so much as to ruin the cargo tech liner. We would take it out to use our third row seats.

You could use it as a soft seat but it is a little bulky. It would have to be a long flight or you have something like hip pain to make it worthwhile. Have not tried to get it past TSA.
