Is this airline approved for in-cabin travel? United Airlines has a maximum 18x11x11 for soft-sided, but I was wondering if it is airline approved.

Yes it is, I just flew American Airlines and United with it. And to be honest none of the airlines really care because it's a soft bag so it can squish under any seat and the people at the airport never really measure those.

Not sure it has officially says airline approved, the size is within their regulations and air ventilation plus if accident the floor would absorb. Also, my dog Bones was transported on United from Ohio to California in-cabin using this bag.

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.

Sorry! Just checked and found that FAA sent out a memo to airlines saying that passengers should not be using personal seat extenders. In flight personnel have never commented on it or stopped me from using it.

I bought this bag for my girlfriend. She has carried it on certain airlines that use bigger aircraft. Some of the regional airlines do not have room in the overhead bins, but you should be able to gate check it. Also, when I bought it, I am almost certain that it said that it was carry-on approved. Maybe some of the requirements have changed.

Yes, airline approved. However, I had a very difficult time with assembly and couldn't get the top to lock to the bottom.

Probably. Maybe. The reason I'm not definitive might depend on the airline. It could be a carry-on by size from what I can see (very close). If you look at the specifications for size and compare with an airline chart online, that might help. Hate to tell you definitively, since I don't know and don't work for an airline.

I believe it did say you can take it on a airline...depending which one. The size I got (large) will not fit under the seat. Hope this helps.

never taken this on a flight, so I have not checked on airline limitations. Sorry I can not help with this question

I have used this seat on several long distance flights and yes, it does fit. Airlines don't seem to like car seats placed in aisle seats unless the entire row consists of "family" (related to or traveling together). The side impact cushions do crowd ever so slightly into the next seat--really a non-issue for most though, especially if next to a family member. I am 6'4" and about 220lbs . . . I am a little aware of the impact cushions, but not anywhere near as inconvenienced as I am by the airlines' reduction in leg room---but I digress. Truthfully, if it keeps my daughter safer, I would endure anything . . . but this is really not an issue with this car seat . . . and if you can place this car seat in a window seat and you sit next to it, it is a non-issue.

Officially it exceeds the max airline bag dimensions by 10" ...but I managed to get mine checked in for a flight to Europe with Swiss international. I had to make sure it stays below the maps weight and the only checked bag so they allowed me to take it along for free. What I did is to ask before booking the flight and then select another carrier if they would have charged me 150$ for it each way!

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.

Yes, but still check with airline because some planes have seats that don't fit all FAA approved caseats

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

I can't say whether this crate is airline approved or not but... in my opinion, it seems much too light in construction to endure everyday routine handling by airline personnel or others. One of my dogs is 15 lbs. and we have a medium size Compass crate. It works for transporting this dog in a car but even that has some limitations as the crate does not have holes at the outside corners for tie downs. Hope this helps.

You really have to go online with each airline and verify their size requirements. I can tell you that I have used this carrier for over 6 years and have never had a problem with USAir, Air Tran, American, Southwest, or Delta. I have done much research and this carrier gives the most room for the animal that stays within the airline guidelines. My dog is now 13 lbs and fits just fine in it.

Check the airlines website directly to see what their limitations are. I'm flying united/continental and it's perfect for for those airlines.

Absolutely, I do it all the time! If you're still unsure my advice is to double check the airline's carry on restrictions (since some are different dimensions), and as a rule of thumb try not to over stuff it.

It should. Mine fit under the seat on a Mexican airline, Interjet, and on American Airlines. There is a Guaranteed on Board certification for the carrier that you register for online, and United is included (http://www.flygob.com/airlines/united). You should always check for the specific flight you are taking, however, and let the airline know that you want to bring your pet in cabin when you purchase your ticket.
