Flying on Southwest with a cat
score:3
Accepted answer
Is a slightly taller carrier likely to be allowed to board?
Within reason.
The underseat area is not rectilinear (hopefully your cat is not one either!). Southwest advertises a limit which fits under the drop created by the life vest. Dogjaunt posted this picture before, as you can (barely) see, the more rigid front of the bag wouldn't even fit under the seat but since the rest is flexible, no problems. The SWA gate dragons have a lot of better things to do than try to measure the highest point of a pet carrier, this has been posted on dogjaunt and flyertalk a million times. The photo is a 12" high carrier btw. A cat will be no problem at all. The gate dragons have seen just about a million bags already and can tell what most likely fits and what doesn't. Any measurement would only be done to make the argument easier. They can tell an ovcharka will not fit underseat but a cat will.
One more tip: avoid the aisle, there's less space underseat.
