We've flown with Gus before, in the same bag, on Delta with no problem, but I'm worried about the new airline (and the new airport - we've never flown with Gus out of EWR or PDX).
Hopefully you'll get this and respond - I'd very much appreciate it!
Thanks,

My Cavalier Winston has flown quite a few times on CO in a large sherpa. He is a very compact 20lbs

but fits in the bag happily and comfortably. I have never been questioned by CO employees re: the size of the bag or the dog.
Good luck!
