Updated Air Canada 2024:
**Please note, the small and medium size carriers are NOT guaranteed on the aircrafts below. Please contact the airline directly to ensure your carrier will be allowed on board. Many airlines will allow a carrier that slightly exceeds their published dimensions if it is soft-sided and can be pushed down, like a Sherpa carrier, but you will need to confirm directly with the airline that they will allow it. All airline approved Sherpa carriers are soft-sided and feature a spring wire frame in the rear of the bag that allows it to be pushed down several inches.
