Avelo Airlines allows small pets in the cabin in a carrier up to 17 × 9 × 13 in, stowed under the seat in front of you. The in-cabin fee is $125 pet fare each way per pet carrier. 2 of the 15 carriers we track clear that published limit.

Last verified 2026-08-14 · 2 of 15 carriers we track fit the published limit

The Bergan Comfort Carrier (Small) leaves the most room — 1" on its tightest dimension, while the Sleepypod Atom only just squeaks in with nothing to spare. At 13", Avelo's published height ceiling is the most generous of the 17 airlines we track (shared with Breeze) — Air Canada publishes only 8".

How to confirm your actual under-seat space

Avelo Airlines's number is a fleet-wide recommendation, not a promise for your exact seat. Before you buy or fly:

Check which aircraft operates your flight (in your booking or on a seat-map site).
Avoid bulkhead and some window seats — they have less (or no) under-seat storage.
Call Avelo Airlines to confirm under-seat dimensions for that aircraft, or
Choose a collapsible / flexible-height carrier that adapts to a tighter space.
