Pegasus Airlines in-cabin pet policy — and the carriers that fit
Pegasus Airlines allows small pets in the cabin in a carrier up to 19.7 × 12.6 × 12.6 in, stowed under the seat in front of you. Already own a carrier? Enter its measurements below to check it against this limit. Pegasus Airlines does not publish a cabin-pet fee on its own policy page. 14 of the 15 carriers we track clear that published limit.
The Sherpa Original Deluxe (Small) leaves the most room — 2.6" on its tightest dimension, against just 0.6" for the Diggs Passenger. Pegasus's 12.6" height ceiling sits mid-pack among the 77 airlines we track: Avelo, Breeze and Saudia allow more, while EL AL Israel allows only 7".

This table ranks by Pegasus Airlines’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
Pegasus Airlines'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 Pegasus Airlines to confirm under-seat dimensions for that aircraft, or
- Choose a collapsible / flexible-height carrier that adapts to a tighter space.
