The media could not be loaded. This carrier was exactly what I needed. I needed a pet carrier to pick up our new puppy from the airport. I searched stores and anything and everything on line. There are many that say they will fit on a plane. You really need to go by the requirements the airline you are traveling with. They all are different and so are the bags! This bag has the exact requirements Alaska airlines/horizon require. I brought home a fluffy 15lb sheepadoodle puppy in it. He didn’t have a lot of room to move but enough for him to lay down The sides were soft enough he was able to turn around in it. Each end expands open and we opened one end to give him a little more room. This carrier is perfect for a smaller dog, puppy or cat. There are plenty of zippered pouches to put potty pads, treats or whatever. The shoulder strap was nice, thick, durable and comfortable for carrying. This bag is not tall, as you can tell from the pictures. My puppy looks squished in but he did have room There is not much room for standing unless you have a small pet. I went with the airline requirements and this bag fit perfect under the seat with no problems. This bag is perfect for any type of traveling and I highly recommend it. I wish I could use it again but I have no small pets.

I’m moving two cats to Hawaii and there’s a number of hoops to jump through. One of them is that Hawaiian airlines will only take animals in bags that are 17 x 11 x 9.5 high. The original travel carriers that I purchased were too tall, so I scrambled to find these. And very nice that it opens up so they have extra room. We haven’t gone on the flight yet, but it looks well-made and comfortable.

We bought this to bring our elderly kitty home to Texas from Mexico. We flew on Volaris and had no issues whatsoever. Toothless, our little kitty, did beautifully on this flight. It come with a good carry strap and a comfy little removable bed with a washable cover. It also has several zippered pockets for treats or any other needs for travel. This carrier was the smallest TSA approved for size carrier we were able to find. It fit well underneath the seat in front of me on the flight. I highly recommend this.

I bought two of these to take my cats on their first flight. They are each 17 lbs. It was a little tight but not bad thanks to the expandable sides. Except when carrying them by hand I had at least one side open in the airport at the gate, when they were on the plane under the seat, and in the car back seat. The extra space and fold down feature worked really well. It was a 3 hour flight but they were in the carriers almost all day with car rides on both ends. One caution, there are a LOT of zippers and some open the carrier at the ends while others extend the ends down. I clipped the zippers that open so the cats wouldn't figure out the zippers and escape, using these zipper pulls which go on and come off quickly and easily: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YHBF4RK. The cats were also given anti-anxiety meds and this kept them from clawing at the carrier too much; I also clipped their nails ahead of time and used Feliway. But I don't think they would have clawed through the mesh, it's pretty durable. At security the cats had to be taken out of their carriers and I used this TSA harness (one for each) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W1YWYK9/. Between it all it was a remarkably smooth experience, and one I had stressed about for weeks beforehand. I let the cats get used to the carriers before the trip as well, by leaving them out with the sides down. Highly recommend. I don't see how any other carrier would fit under the seat as this one is the smallest and barely made it but fit the space like a glove. I bought extra legroom seats which I recommend as well because the carriers could fit long end under the seat, or short end under the seat which gave you room for your feet on either side. I was able to fit the carrier in short end first and let one side down. The cats slept most of the way and were amazingly good. I don't even think the third passenger in the row realized we had cats.

Bought this for a small cat for a long flight with multiple layovers. Our cat is much smaller than the average and the carrier seemed rather cramped for her. I loved that it does extend, but you can't really do that on the plane though. On the plus side, it's good quality, well built and works great for shorter transport, like to the vet and such. For a longer haul, I'd look for something larger.

Moving two cats across country is tough enough. Following the strict guidelines for in cabin carriers is a challenge when also try to keep them comfortable. I found these to be the perfect solution. They met the airlines size restrictions and allowed the cats to stretch out in between flights. I was also able to expand the side wall to give them a bit more space under the seats. We all made it to our destination safely and comfortably.
