Carrier Size & Weight Requirements ✈️ Tips For Flying With Your Dog. Detailed Youtube Coming soon!
I have traveled with both United and Delta. I am sharing the carrier size requirements for United, Delta, Southwest, & American Airlines. United, Delta, & Southwest are focused on the size of the carrier and your dog fitting comfortably inside. American has a weight limit.
Important – Make sure to check what aircraft you are on and where you are sitting. Depending on your seat the maximum size of the carrier varies.
Carrier – Your dog’s carrier must fit under the seat in front of you and your dog must fit comfortably inside.
United – “The maximum dimensions for hard-sided kennels are 17.5 inches long x 12 inches wide x 7.5 inches high (44 cm x 30 cm x 19 cm). The recommended maximum dimensions for soft-sided kennels are 18 inches long x 11 inches wide x 11 inches high (46 cm x 28 cm x 28 cm). Soft-sided pet carriers can exceed these dimensions slightly because they are collapsible and able to fit underneath a seat without blocking the aisle.”
Delta – “Maximum carry-on kennel dimensions are determined by your flight as the space under seats varies by aircraft, we recommend a soft-sided kennel with maximum dimensions of 18” x 11” x 11” since this fits most aircraft types.”
Southwest – “Maximum dimensions of 18.5” long x 8.5” high x 13.5” wide.”
American Airlines- When researching American Airlines there website states they have weight requirement.”Hard-sided kennel – Mainline flights on American: 19 x 13 x 9 inches / 48 x 33 x 22 centimeters (length + width + height). Regional flights on American Eagle: 16 x 12 x 8 inches / 40 x 30 x 20 centimeters (length + width + height) Soft-sided kennel (recommended) – 18 x 11 x 11 inches / 46 x 28 x 28 centimeters (length + width + height), The combined weight of the carrier and your pet can’t exceed 20 lbs. / 9.07 kgs., weighed at check-in.”

How does your dog do on flights?
Hi! What airline did you use? And what carry on bar are you using? I have a frenchie and she’s 23lbs and I’m scared they won’t let me fly with her
what carrier bag is that?
Wow I looove how you leave the dog head out and the carrier open during the flight. Tomorrow it will be my cat’s first flight, he’s big and I’m nervous.
Hi . This is my 1st time fly with Delta
And I have one dog . I have to buy Ticket for dog online frist ?
Or I come buy Ticket and pay Ticket for dog at the airport when we check in ?
Thank you so much
what carrier is this
My dog is slightly bigger than the requirements for cabin and it’s very frustrating. I hope that she will pass with her carrier that’s 2 inches larger than the requirements.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Hi, may I ask- did the airline require your dog to stand comfortably in the carrier? My Boston would be too tall at 15 inches, but I wonder if they would accept her lying down..
Any paperwork for the dog to fly ?
Which airline do you prefer to travel international with great dane
Your dog is so adorable, and I love that carrier ❤
Good stuff
