To determine the right cat carrier, we must first know the size, height, and length of the pet cat, because weight sometimes does not reflect volume .
Many guests have asked if we have in-cabin bags/cat bags that allow pets to travel with passengers. If the flight allows pets to travel in the cabin, you should check with the airline, as the size of each aircraft is different, and the size of the space under the seat also varies.
If your pet is a regular pet, the airline will arrange for it to travel as cargo. Some airlines allow them to be carried on board as checked baggage, while others require them to be transported as cargo and cannot be carried as checked baggage.
Please note the following before purchasing:
Pets Thing cannot guarantee that our handbags will be allowed on board. Customers need to check with the airline beforehand and make their own decision. We will not be responsible for any consequences.
Please measure the required dimensions carefully. We regret that we cannot accept exchanges, returns, or refunds based on product size discrepancies after purchase.
If you are traveling by air, we recommend that you contact the relevant airline before your trip to confirm their specific requirements. Returns and exchanges will not be accepted for reasons that the airline refuses to comply.
Space for pets on airplanes is limited; the number of pets allowed depends on the type of aircraft, destination, and operating airline. Please book your pet as soon as possible after booking your flight. Bookings should be made no later than 48 hours before flight departure.
Pet carriers/cat bags come in different sizes to accommodate different pet sizes, but not all airlines accept them. We will list the sizes of different pet carriers/cat bags here.

United Airlines states that pets brought into the cabin must be placed in an approved hard-sided or soft-sided carrier under the passenger's seat. The maximum dimensions for a hard-sided carrier are 17.5 inches long x 12 inches wide x 7.5 inches high (44 cm x 30 cm x 19 cm). The maximum dimensions for a soft-sided carrier are 18 inches long x 11 inches wide x 11 inches high (46 cm x 28 cm x 28 cm).
Each passenger is only allowed to bring one cat or small dog in the cabin.
Your pet must be at least 10 weeks old and fully weaned.
Since you will need to meet with staff upon check-in, please arrive at the airport 30 minutes before the recommended check-in time. Passengers traveling with pets cannot check in online or using the airport's self-service check-in system.
