Need to know the dimensions on the small carrier must be united airline approved, is it?

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.

The small Petmate measures 19"L X 12"W X 10"H. It is airline approved as long as you use the four little bolts and nuts that should come with the carrier, these fasten the two halves together at the corners.

Call the airline and ask them....not all airlines have the same guidelines.

Yes it's airline approved. However some of the newer planes have reduced leg room and this carrier is a bit too large to fit under the seat. If cats will fit in the large divided, that definitely will fit. But the divided large is not roomy enough for cats over 5 pounds.

We used this as a carrier on United, no problems at all. Not sure about each airlines' restrictions...

This size is too thick for airline carry on regulations. I have flown locally and internationally and have not been refused. There have been times when I had to insist it was okay. BS. and got away with it. Lately, airlines have been stricter on carry on sizes so I've had to downsize to avoid hassles. Again. I haven't been refused, yet. But, it's a risk as technically the dimensions are too large.

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

No it is not airline approved as a carrier. It is a backpack or rather a front pack

No it isnt airline approved, it is also very fragile, I am very disappointed. The first one I had looked grand but when I moved my cat who weighes less than 5 kg, the perspex lid cracked in four places from the handle. Amazon sent me an immediate replacement but the door mechanism collapsed the third time I used it. They're just too fragile for the job unfortunately

We flew 2 flights with United and all was well. Because it is soft sided, we were able to have it fit. We flew domestic and international and it worked great. We used the disposable liners and that was good. Our cat travelled well and we were very happy with the carrier .

I wrote a review for this item because I absolutely LOVED using it for flying my 2 cats from SC to WA back in January of 2010. The height was an inch or 2 higher than US Airways guidelines, but it fit perfectly. They never measured it at the airport either...I had to take the cats out to go through security, but no measurements done at check-in, security, or at the gate. The good thing about this carrier is that it is soft so that the top could be squished a bit, if needed. It has stiffer supports in places to keep it from collapsing, but not so much you couldn't squish it a bit without really affecting the animal's comfort. The bag fit my 2 cats (about 11lbs each) at the same time and they had plenty of room...but the bag isn't huge and doesn't look huge. What airline are you planning on flying with? Even looking at the new guidelines, I wouldn't think twice about trying this bag again if I had to fly with my animals. Hope this helps!

I do not know the measurements of the box but airlines are typically great with checking baby items such as stroller, carrier, and portable crib for free as they are considered necessary items. We flew Delta in 7/12 with this travel system and it flew free. I will say they are VERY rough on your stuff. Expect scratches and etc. they will likely require you to open the box and you'll never get it back in at the airport. Ship it to your destination or check at home to see if you think u can get it back in box. I recommend renting a carrier bc they will chuck your stuff around and carseats are not meant to be handled this way. Call your airline.

The following carrier size is accepted on Alaska Airlines for travel in the cabin:Type Kennel Size Dimensions (height x width x depth)Hard-sided 50 7.5" x 12" x 17"Soft-sided 50 9.5" x 12" x 17"This bag is slightly larger than the allowance for this airline, but with it being soft-sided (& assuming your animal has PLENTY of room inside), they shouldn't have an issue with it, since it can 'crush' a bit to accommodate the space under the seat.

This bag is 9X 19 X 15 1/2" and the maximum for carry on luggage with United is : The maximum combined linear measurement (length + width + height) of carry-on bags must not exceed 14 inches x 9 inches x 22 inches (23 x 35 x 56 cm) or 45 linear inches (114 cm). The combined measure is just under the limit of 45". My advice would be to check with the airline regarding the size of the jet. Sometimes smaller jets will make this size go in the cargo area.

I believe it's too big to be approved as a carry-on. Width wouldn't be the problem but the height.

Recently used it without problem on United. Exterior as I measured at the widest: 51" x 15" x 13" = 79Happy golfing!

it's about the size of a medium backpack. i used it as my second carry-on. with the top folded over properly, and almost full, it was about a foot in diameter and maybe 18" long (cylindrical tube shape). so, yes. it qualifies.

17 inches long x 8 inches wide x 11.5 inches high. For pets up to 10 pounds. If the airline approves the large size, I would recommend it for the pet to be more comfortable, 19 inches long x 10 inches wide x 13 inches high (up to 22 pounds). That is what I have for my pug. I would only use the small for a kitten, or a small Chihuahua, or a tiny Yorkie.
