I have the Celltei "Tote-a-Pet" too and just flew for the first time on American Airlines w/ my puppy. Since the bag is flexible I had no trouble fitting it under the seat in front of me even though it is technically too tall. I spoke w/ the owner at Celltei when I ordered mine and she specifically said that the bags are made to be flexible for this reason.
Also, no one at the airport ever checked my bag. I think, if anything, they would simply look at it and not actually measure it.
Good luck! |
