Cabin Pet Carrier Finder

Will your pet fit under the seat? Here's a worked example.

Your airline + your pet's size → does it qualify, the specific approved carrier that fits that airline's under-seat space, the fee, and a gate-day checklist.

✓ Your carrier fits Delta's soft-sided max

Delta soft-sided max on file: 18" × 11" × 11". Yours: 18" × 11" × 11".

Fee & weight

~$95 each way. Delta lists no hard dims — carrier must fit fully under the seat in front. You entered 12 lb for your pet — most cabin programs need the pet to stand and turn comfortably.

Gate-day checklist

• Book the pet spot early — cabins cap the number of animals per flight. • Carrier stays under the seat the whole flight (no bulkhead/exit rows). • Bring the health certificate / rabies record your destination requires. • No food 4h before; a pee-pad and a collapsible bowl for layovers.

Airline pet rules change often. These dimensions and fees are a starting reference, not the airline's live policy — confirm on Delta's official pet page before you book and buy a carrier.

In this example the carrier clears Delta's under-seat limit. If yours doesn't, a soft carrier that compresses to fit is the fix:

That's the sample. Your pet's answer takes about 20 seconds.

Pick your airline, enter your carrier's real dimensions, and get your own go/no-go.
