I'm flying with my two babies (female and male Maine Coon) this Christmas from NYC to North Carolina and Delta informs me that the carrier can max be 17 inches long, 12 inches wide and 8 inches high. My beautiful baby male Maine coon is 11 lbs and would be terrible cramped in such a carrier. I refuse to ship them in the baggage area. Does anyone have any experience with this??? Could I perhaps buy a bigger soft carrier??? I am so worried and would greatly appreciate any advice. Many thanks.

Unfortunately Delta can call the shots when it comes to the size carrier they will allow. It has to do with the space under the seat. You might try seeing if you can talk to someone at Delta about the size of your cat and seeing if they might allow either a slightly larger carrier or a larger soft-sided one that will go under a seat.
Good luck to you!
