Absolutely loved this carrier - a little tight, but the measurement requirements for aircanada are so small and this was the only carrier I could find that fit the dimensions listed. Neither of my cats were very happy when testing it out ( my older cat 13 lbs was for the most part relaxed, younger cat 7 lbs HATED IT) but when actually traveling, I think they preferred to have a nice snug space to make them feel safe and they calmed right down. There is wiring around the sides and top, and a slip in board for the bed that made the frame surprising sturdy. Also very easy to clean in the case of an accident (I wrapped a pee pad around the bed, highly recommend, so it was easy to throw it away and replace during travel with no lingering smells or wet spots for the kitty to lay on), and the bed holds its shape perfectly after being washed. Plenty of ventilation, but I also recommend placing a thin baby receiving blanket on top of the carrier during travel to make it extra calming, that worked wonders for me. Great product, especially for the price point, 10/10 recommend!
Perfect for flying!
