I'm moving back home in June and my airline suggests that I use a 9x16x19 bag for my cat. Will this bag work and fit underneath the seat ?

Yes it will. The top colapses. I have traveled on several different planes and had no problems.

It might depend on the type of plane you are flying on. I usually fly SWA and have never had a problem fitting this bag under the seat. It works well because there are flexible bars that go over the top of the bag keeping the bag from smooshing our loved ones. I definitely recommend this bag when traveling with my cat!

Dorah, the Sturdibag will fit fine as its 'dome' easily compresses to adapt to the available space under the seat in front of you.People (or their cats and dogs) use it daily. The 'large' is the largest size airlines will allow.

there is certainly room to move in this carrier for my 16 lb, very long cat but it is tight. the mesh openings help so he does get air. I would say OK for a short flight.

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.

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.

Based on my experience-absolutely! I fly between Seattle and San Francisco monthly and always take this bag (with my purse inside so I can also take my rolling laptop case). I put in on my back and roll my laptop case in as well. It will fit under the seat as well as the overhead bin. I fly Virgin America, Alaska, and Southwest. No questions and no problems. You will not regret getting this bag.

The answer is probably. It depends on the airline for actual room under seat. Keep in mind that just because an item can fit under the seat of an airline seat, this does not mean that it meets the airline's size requirement.

Well the dimensions say they are 19x15. So if the bags are meant to fit those dimensions, you'll be fine. From what I saw, Large should do the trick.

It should. There isn't a lot of extra room in this bag though. As its designed to be able to fit under the seat in front of you on most planes. I love the bag though.

Marilynoz, I am sure that this carrying case will work just fine for you. The case is soft, but both ends of the case are semi-firm. Just enough so that the case retains it shape, but flexible enough that you can collapse the ends down to fit under seat in front you. My two Shih Tzus did well, on their first flight. An international 6.5 hour flight, not including the long wait at the airport needed for international hops. My dogs are 8 and 9lbs and I opted for a separate carry bag for both of them. But your kitties might be able to tolerate one anthers company in the same carry case on a less lengthy journey. Happy Travels!!

My largest cat is 18 or 19 pounds and this crate fits him with room to spare. Cats mostly curl up in it (I put a mat on the bottom), so I don't think your cat's measurements would be a problem for short trips. My only concern would be the handle's ability to hold the weight. You might want to tie a strap around it for extra security.

No it will collapse under the seat around the animal. I did not have any problem with it fitting. Now I flew Delta a larger plane. I am not sure about the smaller airlines.

It should, however depending on the length of the flight, you might want to not give kitty anything to eat or drink prior to flight. There's not much room for him or her in there. However, you can lay it down so she can lay down which is a plus. Make sure the zippers are secure (I use twisties on mine, because mine opened the zipper from the inside) you don't want them to get out. All in all, this is a good carrier and is about the size of a gym duffle bag.

Hi, I didn't take it on a flight. But it is soft so it would squeeze under the seat. I got large and it fit my cat so she can stand up and move in it.I originally got it for my dog who is American Eskimo 15 pounds and the carrier was to small for him.

My cats are 12lbs and it's OK for them but 15lbs might be pushing it. If your dog is under the seat inside the plane (and not below the plane with the luggage), it could work. But it would be snug to fit a water bowl or food. However, if you're flying with the dog you should be able to open it for him/her. I would take the measurements of this, cut up cardboard to match each side, and tape it together and see how your dog fits inside before ordering. Or go to a store that sells it and bring your pup to see how he fits.

It depends on her size. If she's over 8lbs you might not be able to squeeze her in. I have a (normal-sized= not overweight) 10lb Coton that is about 11 inches tall and I couldn't get her even halfway --- the bag is VERY narrow and small. This bag is probably best suited for slim-built dogs, such as miniature pinschers, slim chihuahas, mini-Yorkies, mini-poodles that aren't much over 5 lbs. (Wider-built dogs like pugs or French bulldogs won't fit.) Most full-grown cats wouldn't fit in this bag. The bag itself is cute and would fit EASILY under the seat in an international flight (the seats reserved for travelling with pets). I used the Sherpa Original Deluxe Pet Carrier, Large, Black to fly with my dog from Switzerland to LA and back and she was fine for over 13 hours. It just fit under the seat and I didn't have hardly any leg room at all. (The new planes are tight in Economy Class and I am only 5ft2") but she was able to stretch out on her back in the bag and had a really comfortable flight! I haven't used the Sherpa bag on a domestic flight yet. I hope that info helps!

Hello Lynn,It did work for me even though in the beginning he won't use it but after a couple of minutes insisting he did. I used on a long trip to east Europe and i most of the time i travel with my cat so i always bring one of this either on the carry on check bags. Also on the carry on i found a good bag to put it in so the litter doesnt fly all over and sometimes if kitty is uncomfortable during the flight i take him to the plain's restroom and open the box there.
