A soft-sided cabin carrier engineered for stress-free air travel. The Helios expands sideways — adding a full 24 cm of extra space — so your pet has room to stretch and turn in-flight, while the base dimensions stay within KLM's under-seat limit. Three-sided mesh ventilation and a removable fleece mat keep your pet comfortable from door to destination.

Why the Helios?

Extra space opens sideways — pet can stretch without affecting under-seat height

All-round ventilation

Mesh on three sides for consistent airflow throughout the flight

Lockable zippers

Secure closures prevent accidental opening during travel

Frequently asked questions

Does this bag meet KLM's cabin pet carrier requirements?

Yes. When collapsed, the Helios fits within KLM's maximum under-seat dimensions of 46×28×24 cm. Always confirm current requirements directly with KLM before your flight, as airline policies may change.

Which direction does the bag expand?

The Helios expands sideways, not upward. An additional 24×28×24 cm panel unzips to the side, extending the total length from 46 cm to 70 cm. The height (24 cm) stays the same, so it sits flat under the seat in front of you.

When can I open the expansion panel?

Once the aircraft is airborne and the seatbelt sign is off, you can unzip the side panel. Keep the bag collapsed during boarding, taxi, take-off, and landing as required by airlines.

What is the maximum pet size?

The maximum allowed weight is 6.5 kg (pet + carrier combined). But weight alone is not enough — you must also measure your pet's height while standing. The interior height of the carrier is 24 cm, so your pet should be able to stand upright without pressing against the top. If your pet is taller than ~20–21 cm at the shoulder, they will not be comfortable. Always measure before purchasing.

📏 Tip: measure your pet from the floor to the top of their back (withers) while standing. Add a few centimetres for head clearance.
Is this carrier suitable for anxious or stressed pets?

No — a soft cabin carrier is not the right choice for anxious or easily stressed animals. For pets that do not travel calmly, we strongly recommend using a rigid hard-shell carrier and booking them as cargo in the hold, where conditions are more controlled. Always consult your vet before flying with a stressed pet.

Can I wash the interior mat?

Yes. The fleece mat is removable and machine washable at 30°C. The carrier shell can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

Is there a leash attachment inside?

Yes, an internal safety clip allows you to attach your pet's harness, preventing escape when opening the carrier door.
