## Description

Sherpa® Original Deluxe™ Airline Approved Pet Carrier, Medium, Black : desertcart.ae: Pet Supplies

Review: Me encanta!!! La veo muy bien hecha, resistente, trae una base rígida para que con el peso de la mascota no se doble y es muy bonita y a mi gata le gustó. Pedí la mediana porque en mi viaje voy a llevar a la gata en la cabina del avión.
Review: Amazing quality and well worth the higher price. The back top has a spring that pushes down the carrier to fit under the seat on plane. Lots of room for my 6kg Chinese crested girlie. Haven't flown with it yet but don't expect any issues based on other reviews. Height is 29cm but with spring in top easily folds down to 23cm requirement by airline.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has anyone traveled through AirTran or Southwest with this carrier? Does it fit ok?**
A: I used this carrier traveling across the country on both AirTran and Southwest. It fits okay. You wouldn't want it any larger though. The end of the carrier that you push furthest under the seat in front of you gets a little bit crunched, because the underside of the seat in front of you slopes down a little bit. There was still room for my pet, however, and she even exceeds this carrier's recommended size.  You do have to push and shove a bit to get it under the seat. Since this carrier is soft-sided it allows for a some flexibility when doing that.  All in all, it worked out fine and I'm very happy with the carrier.

**Q: Alaska Airlines specifies their dimensions as 9.5X12X17.  I cannot find any carriers to meet those measurements.  Will this one fit?**
A: Alaska Airlines max dimensions are 17x11x9.5 for soft sided carrier, and 17x11x7.5 for hard-sided carriers.  The sherpa size small comes in under the soft-sided dimensions Alaska requires.  So if you are buying the small, yes it will fit.  If you are buying the medium, it is slightly too big and MAYBE you'll get away with it, and the size large is way too big.  With Alaska, they appear to be trying to steer larger animals to the checked baggage compartment.

**Q: What size dog is this for, Amazon?**
A: I bought this carrier for my cat.  He is 17 lbs and fits inside easily and has room to turn around inside. Not sure if that helps since I don't own a dog.

**Q: has anyone ever flown southwest airline with this pet carrier?**
A: Yes, I have used the carrier on 2 round trip, coast-to-coast trips. Even though it's larger than their approved carrier, I had no problem fitting it under the seat in front of me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***S on 4 May 2016*

Was the perfect size for my fat cat. Brought her on a plane with me as she needs daily meds, and she did very well. She had an accident on the way to the airport, and I was able to wash both the sherpa bed and the entire carrier in the washing mashine! I let it air dry and it's good as new. Very sturdy, which is hard to find in a soft-sided carrier. was easy to attach to our rolling suitcase to make transport easier - my cat is very heavy. I am getting another cat soon and will be buying another one of these, definitely recommend, great quality and washable!
