I bought this bag for my 12lb dachshund to fly from Houston to New York. It is the largest bag that is approved by Continental (the large is not guaranteed to be allowed on).
She is 21 inches long, but can fit in this and turn around (because of her proportions).
I was very concerned that she was big for it, but at check-in they didn't notice I had a dog - had to check she was attached to the ticket. No comment from them (other than 'she's cute', no problem.
At boarding (where I've heard horror stories that people can be refused so late it gives you no time to get another option) no-one said anything - it just looks like a bag. She sat under the seat comfortably with another blanket in there and chilled out. The various zips mean you can have her on your lap (can't get them out) and stroke them during the flight.
Getting off the plane one of the air hostesses noticed the bag and commented - 'you have a dog?' but nothing other than an observation and a smile.
This bag is great, I was concerned it wasn't going to be big enough for my dog but it was ample sized and I'll be travelling with her loads more from now.
One other thing, log onto sherpa website and so long as the dog isn't refused because they're too big for the bag, if you get bumped planes for any other reason (eg overbooking) they'll always reimburse you and make sure you can get on - all free of charge...
Definitely a good purchase...Get more detail about The ORIGINAL Sherpa Bag Medium/Navy (18 in x 11 in x 10.5 in).
