I have historically travelled with a medium sherpa carrier that easily fits underneath the seat on aircraft like 738, 32B, E75, etc. I have bought a large sherpa carrier that is .75 inches wider and 1 inch taller, and my dog actually enjoys sitting in it. It is collapsible, so it doesn't have to meet the hard under-seat requirements, but having a list of dimensions by aircraft would be helpful.

In any case, I'll probably take the carrier alone without my dog as a personal item just to see how it fits, and limit my travel on larger aircraft such as the 738 or 32B whenever I travel with my dog.
AA states which aircraft prohibits in cabin animals. See https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/...tance/pets.jsp

With the 787 MAX, 32Q and project Oasis retrofits all using the MiQ seats with very limited underwear stowage in First, I expect the narrow bodied aircraft prohibiting under seat carriers in F will proliferate.
