In-cabin pet carriers that fit Air Canada
The carriers from our list that clear Air Canada's official 17 × 16 × 8 in under-seat limit — sorted best-fit first, with the ones that squeeze in when collapsed flagged.
📏 Economy under-seat height is only 8" on most Air Canada aircraft — one of the shortest anywhere. Bring a collapsible or flex-height carrier.
