It is a different bag from our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mr-peanuts-gold-series-pet-carrier\"\u003eCharcoal Ash Gold Series\u003c\/a\u003e, which is fixed-shape and does not expand — they share a footprint and a height, not a design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe measurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e18 in long × 10.5 in wide × 11 in high\u003c\/strong\u003e, exterior, closed. It gets under the seat on five of the nine U.S. airlines in our guide: American, Delta, United, Frontier and Allegiant. Alaska and Hawaiian, JetBlue, Southwest and Breeze are the four it does not clear. Southwest is the one that surprises people — it is wide and flat, and publishes 8.5 inches of height against this bag’s 11.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRated to 15 lb, and best for a pet around 16 in long lying down. The interior is a little smaller than the exterior, as it is on every soft carrier: the fabric and the padding take their share. It weighs 3.2 lb empty — 0.3 lb more than the fixed-shape one, which is the expansion panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the expansion is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt stays closed for the flight, at the size above. Once you are off the plane — the hotel room, the car, the waiting room at the vet — it opens out and gives your pet room to stretch. \u003cstrong\u003eFly it closed.\u003c\/strong\u003e The published limits apply to the bag as it goes under the seat, and an expanded carrier does not go under any seat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does well\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf-locking zippers.\u003c\/strong\u003e No clasps to fail, and your pet cannot push the zip open from the inside.
