Lyra is a pet carrier for your cat or small dog on the plane. At standard size, it measures 40 x 30 x 24 cm, exactly the cabin maximum at Transavia.
What makes it different: it expands on three sides. A mesh room folds out left and right, and the roof lifts about 5 cm. Your cat can stretch out and almost sit up.
The video shows the three sides folding out, how the curtains work and how the carrier slides over your suitcase.
Pros
Cons
Lyra is one of my favourite carriers in our range. There's a lot in it: curtains you roll down when your pet wants to sleep, and a roof that lifts up.
To be honest: the zips are a bit stiff. Not sure your pet will fit? Send me a WhatsApp and we'll check together.

Transavia allows 8 kg for pet and carrier together. Take off the carrier's 1.7 kg and you have 6.3 kg left for your cat or small dog. Note: a blanket and treats in the carrier count too.
One of the three curtains, on the side. Let it down when your pet wants to sleep. Not needed? Roll it into its own pocket and zip it shut.

Lyra arrives folded flat in the box. After the trip, fold it flat the same way and put it away.
Standard size: 40 x 30 x 24 cm, that's how it goes under the seat.
Expanded, it's a lot wider and taller: only outside the plane, at the gate, in the car or at your hotel. Zip the sides and roof back in before boarding.
Please note: the size can vary by ± 1 cm. Lyra is made of soft fabric, not hard plastic, so it differs slightly per carrier. That's a production tolerance we can't control. Because it's soft, it's easy to squeeze a little under the seat.
This is Lyra in the cabin: at standard size under the seat in front of you, with the dog inside.
All you need is a tape measure. Measure your pet while it stands calmly. On the plane the carrier is not expanded, so your pet needs to lie down within 40 x 30 cm, with 24 cm height.
Measuring a cat
Cats usually curl up when travelling, so length matters most.
Measuring a dog
In the cabin your dog lies down in the carrier, it doesn't need to stand up.
Compare your measurements with the maximum sizes in the image. And don't forget the weight: with this carrier, Transavia allows up to 6.3 kg.

Don't let your pet see the carrier for the first time at the airport.
1 to 2 weeks before: leave it open, all sides expanded, with a familiar blanket and the occasional treat. Then close it a few times and walk around the house.
Practise not expanded too: that's how it will be on the plane.
Lyra opens on three sides: both sides and the top. That gives your pet extra room on the go.

Dogs
This is a guide based on 6.3 kg. Every animal is different, so weigh and measure your own pet.
This is what you get in the box: the Lyra carrier, a soft mat and a padded shoulder strap.
The carrier stands expanded in the room and the cat walks in and out by itself.
This is Lyra in grey. This Pomeranian fits in nicely: lying behind the mesh, or peeking out of the top.
