We'll be traveling internationally with Continental and Lufthansa. Both airlines have different size requirements for pet carriers--we have two mini dachshunds. Lufthansa requires 21.6 x 15.7 x 7.9 inches. Continental is 18 x 11 x 11 inches. Are they going to get out tape measures at the ticket counter? If we're an inch or two over will it be OK? It's impossible to to find pet carriers that are exactly the dimensions required. All tips about particular pet carriers or flying with pets would be greatly appreciated.|||use the smaller of the two! Those are *maximum* dimensions--you don't have to have them exactly that size, but they cannot *exceed* those dimensions
The carrier has to fit under the seat in front of you
The pet has to be able to stand up and turn around
if either of these conditions is not fulfilled....puppy ain't flyin'|||The dimensions are the maximum sizes, so just have a carrier that is smaller than the smallest one stated and you will be fine.
And yes, as the other poster stated, the carrier must fit ALL THE WAY under the seat, and if it doesn't you will be require to deplane and purchase a suitable carrier from the gate agent.|||They will be very particular because the carriers must fit under the seat in front of you - two inches over the limit will cause you a problem
