I'm moving to Europe and taking my cat. Lufthansa has been recommended to me as a good airline when traveling with pets, but I can't get a straight answer from them about whether I can use my Sherpa carrier for my cat. I know I can have him in cabin, know all about the vet certificate, microchip, vaccination records, etc. But after 4 phone calls, all I can get them to tell me about the rules for carriers is that it can't be bigger than 22"x16"x8". This is the same size rule for carry-on baggage. I've asked them: Is this only for hard-sided carriers, and soft-sided carriers just need to fit under the seat, right? Not one agent could tell me.
So, has anyone used soft-sided carriers for taking pets on board Lufthansa flights?
I brought my cat to the US in a hard-sided carrier, but he's so much less anxious since using his Sherpa that I'd really like to use it for this long trip. So if anyone has personal experience taking pets on board Lufthansa, I'd greatly appreciate hearing about it. Thanks so much.
