Breeze Airways in-cabin pet policy — and the carriers that fit
Breeze Airways allows small pets in the cabin in a carrier up to 17 × 8 × 13 in, soft-sided, stowed under the seat in front of you.
- Weight limit: pet 25 lb or less
- In-cabin fee: Additional charge posted at booking on the Breeze website (the Contract of Carriage doesn't publish the amount) — check when you book
- 1 of the 15 carriers we track clears that published limit
- Already own a carrier? Check its measurements against this limit
The only one that clears it — the Bergan Comfort Carrier (Small) — matches Breeze's published limit exactly, with no measurable slack, so measure your own carrier before you fly.
At 13", Breeze's height limit is the most generous of the 58 airlines that publish one.
- Same limit (2): Avelo, Saudia
- Lower limit (55): down to 7" on EL AL Israel; next step down is 12.6" on Pegasus

This table ranks by Breeze Airways’s size limit — not by your pet. The weight under each carrier is what that size is rated to hold. A bag can clear the airline and still be the wrong size for the animal, which is the most common reason one goes back — measure your pet first →

How to confirm your actual under-seat space
Breeze Airways's number is its published maximum, not a guarantee 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 exit rows — bulkheads have no under-seat storage and most airlines ban pets there — and check this airline's seat rules above.
- Call Breeze Airways to confirm under-seat dimensions for that aircraft, or
- Choose a collapsible / flexible-height carrier that adapts to a tighter space.

Which pet carriers fit Breeze Airways?
1 of the 15 carriers we track clears Breeze Airways's published 17 × 8 × 13 in. The roomiest is the Bergan Comfort Carrier (Small), and even that one matches the limit exactly rather than clearing it, so measure before you fly. None of the carriers that fit publish a pet weight rating, so measure your pet rather than relying on a number. Full shortlist: /fits/breeze/.
Does Breeze Airways require a soft-sided pet carrier?
Yes — Breeze Airways requires a soft-sided carrier in the cabin. Height is what rules carriers out: Breeze Airways publishes 13", against 13" at the most generous airline we track. See how to check the space on your aircraft.
How many pets can I bring in the cabin on Breeze Airways?
1 pet per guest; maximum 5 pets per flight. Species accepted: domesticated cats, dogs. Weight limit: pet 25 lb or less. Domestic flights only — pets are not permitted on international flights.
