Mr. Peanut's Gold Series Standard (Expandable) — dimensions & which airlines it fits
Mr. Peanut's Gold Series Standard (Expandable): 18 × 11 × 10 in external, up to ~20 lb. Flex height plus side expansion: 10" closed, opening to 12". At 18" long it is a big-carrier — best on the 11" airlines.
It clears 12 of 58 airlines with a published limit outright, and 9 of those are an exact fit with no margin to spare (Allegiant Air, American Airlines, American Eagle (regional, incl. Republic Airways), Avianca, Contour Airlines). Under-seat space varies by aircraft, so an exact fit can still fail on the day — check your specific flight. Check your pet before you buy. This one is rated up to ~20 lb. Same bag, other sizes: Low-Profile up to ~15 lb (fits 31). Clears more airlines: the Low-Profile clears 31 of 58, but is rated up to ~15 lb — check yours against that before switching.
Mr. Peanut's publishes a weight limit only. Weight alone under-determines fit, so measure your pet lying down and check it against the carrier's interior before buying. How to measure →
