The Miravia is a rectangular soft pet carrier measuring 55 x 40 x 23 cm. That is exactly the maximum size Austrian Airlines allows in the cabin. No rigid frame, wheels or telescopic handle, so it fits under the seat in front of you.
Three curtains (two on the sides, one on top) help your pet settle down and protect against rain and wind. The rectangular shape uses all the space under the seat.

Austrian Airlines allows 8 kg for pet and carrier combined. The Miravia weighs 1.95 kg. That leaves room for cats and small dogs up to about 6.05 kg. Remember to count extras in the carrier, such as a blanket or snacks.
Length 55 cm, width 40 cm, height 23 cm. Measured on the outside. 118 cm in total, exactly the Austrian Airlines limit.
The flexible top gives a little to fit snugly under the seat. Then it springs back, so your pet has full headroom again.
Measure your pet in a relaxed, standing position. All you need is a tape measure. Your pet must be able to stand, turn around and lie down normally in the carrier.
🐱 Measuring a cat
The Miravia suits cats up to about 45 cm long and 23 cm tall. Cats usually lie curled up during the flight, so length matters most.
🐶 Measuring a dog
The Miravia suits small dogs up to about 45 cm long and 23 cm tall. The flexible top gives a bit of extra room if your dog briefly stands up.
Add a few centimetres to length and height for room to move. Don't forget the weight: with Austrian Airlines your pet can weigh about 6.05 kg.

If your pet sees the carrier for the first time at the airport, it means stress for both of you.
Leave the Miravia open at home a week or two before the flight. Put a familiar blanket inside and add a treat now and then. Then practise a few times with the carrier closed and reward your pet afterwards. On travel day the carrier already smells like home.
On travel day: put an absorbent blanket on the base and add a favourite toy. Your pet stays in the closed carrier for the whole flight.
