There was an additional 1"-1.5" of space above the carrier and roughly 2" of space to the left and right of the carrier. Ok, getting to the point, the small carrier had more than enough room to fit under the seat in front of me. I know I came back in a 737-800, and think I flew out in the same. Google states SWA has a fleet of 737-800 and 737 MAX 8, and some older 737-700. I flew from Chicago to Tucson round trip. I originally bought the medium but didn't think it'd fit under the seat. He fit ok, couldn't stand completely upright, but he could sit up right and had enough room to make himself comfortable. Based on the majority of comments on this site stating the SWA pet carrier bottom is not sturdy enough, I got a small pet carrier. I stumbled upon this website because I freaked out when I saw the pet carrier dimensions on SWA's website. Here's the skinny on pet carrier size on SWA Unfortunately, until then, it looks like we'll be driving. I live for the day when I can buy row of 3 seats for myself, my husband and our pup and fly comfortably, just as we do in a vehicle. It saddens me that some flight crews fail to acknowledge that there are families, like mine, whose only child happens to be a pup and stuffing them under the seat and ignoring them like they're an inanimate object for a prolonged period just doesn't make one bit of sense. I would gladly pay for a seat for my pup just to be allowed to keep him in a bag on a seat next to me. I would be happy to pay for a first class ticket on any airline that would accommodate my child. My pup is whimpering and begging to poke his head out, and I am forced to sit silently and watch the miles and minutes tick by.
#Southwest airlines pet weight limit zip
I was quickly scolded and told to zip the bag up COMPLETELY for the remainder of the flight. I unzipped it just enough to get my fingers into the bag so I could pet him, give him a treat and try to calm him. He began whimpering and scratching at mesh window in the bag. While Grissom did fine on the first two flights, the third flight left him a bit anxious (very likely due to my own stress levels).
We practiced from the time he was 12 weeks old sitting in the travel bag, he knows the drill. I thoroughly reviewed the rules and was aware before traveling what was expected of me and my pup Grissom. I suspect it *completely* depends on the crew.
