Airline pet carrier guide

Most airlines require carriers that fit under the seat (typically 43x28x22cm max). Soft-sided carriers are lighter and more flexible for squeezing under seats. Hard-shell carriers offer more protection for cargo travel.

What to look for

• Airline dimensions — check your airline's specific size requirements before buying
• Ventilation — mesh panels on multiple sides for airflow
• Comfortable base — padded, removable bottom for easy cleaning
• Secure zippers — locking zippers prevent escape during travel
