I’ve moved from USA to Spain then to Austria with my 12 lbs cat in this carrier and have no complaints! It has been allowed on every airline in the cabin- Delta, Iberia, Austrian air etc. and my cat loves it! The removable and washable lining is a huge plus and the many ways to carry it are so convenient. Zippers snap into place so it is very escape proof. Ventilation on all sides with privacy flaps make it perfect for a nervous cat but also to still breathe properly and comply with airline regulations. Worth the investment for sure

I traveled coast-to-coast with our cat. He's big (15 pounds) and I worried it would be too snug for him. Although he didn't have. a ton of room, he definitely could turn around and he didn't seem to mind it at all. We had been feeding him treats in there in anticipation of the trip and when the time came to leave, he was remarkably calm sliding in on the tray. The carrier fit nicely on the roller bag making it easy to move around the airport. It didn't fit terribly well under the United airlines economy seat but I could squoosh it under far enough to not block the little aisle. The tightness of fit wasn't an issue with the bag dimensions but more with the outlets that the airlines have installed that obstruct the space. I wish the bag had a little more pocket space for carrying cat treats and a way to provide water (is that possible?) but other than that, it's a very nice piece of luggage, well-made and attractive.

I looked at a LOT of less expensive carriers locally and couldn’t find anything that I felt was high quality enough or escape proof enough for flying a Maine Coon cat cross country. There were larger carriers that claimed to be ‘airline and TSA approved’ all to find out that in reality, they were neither. This carrier is a bit smaller than some making it airline/TSA approved but the cat did fit even though it was smallish for a Maine Coon. If you have a smart cat that is an escape artist, make sure to use the zipper locks! Many lesser carriers lack this important safety feature. Also being able to have the cat in a harness/leash that can then be attached inside the carrier is a huge plus so if kitty does escape, it’s difficult for them to get very far while dragging the carrier! I bought this carrier sight unseen upon the recommendation of others. When I received it, the high quality and ruggedness of the carrier and high quality of the materials was impressive. So much better than anything that I had seen locally. This thing is built like a tank. The privacy shades are a plus, the secure pockets are a plus. Having places to store collapsible food/water dishes, small bag of food and treats, cleaning wipes, etc. is another plus. Being able to slip food or treats into the carrier through the grommet holes without needing to open the carrier is huge! If you are looking for the Rolls Royce of cat carriers, this is it.

This carrier was worth the premium. It is well design and high quality. I ended up using almost all the different features during our first air travel, from the pockets, different carrying options and different windows to check in on my cats. I bought two of these for my two cats and we had no issues flying with them. Then I was able to secure them in the rental car and secure the lead lines to their harnesses. For that portion, I was able to leave the top flap open to let them see out the windows without worrying about them getting out. Can't say enough good things- this made my travel day so much easier.

Very happy with the purchase. High quality, exactly as described.
