Do pet carriers the size of Lufthansa's restrictions for the cabin even exist?

    I am travelling from Dublin to Frankfurt with Lufthansa and they allow you to book your cat aboard the cabin, providing the pet carrier meets their size restrictions.

    It says on the site the allowed dimensions are 55cm x 40cm x 20 cm (about 22" x 15.5" x 7.8") but after an exhaustive Google search I can't find any carriers that fit this size, even the ones that state they are "airline approved". The length (55cm) and height (40cm) are absolutely fine, you can find tons below that, but the width (20cm) is ridiculously small and I don't even think such a carrier even exists!

    Does anyone know of one that fits the requirements or alternatively has anyone travelled with Lufthansa and used one that they have allowed even though it's outside them? Help please!

    Airline Approved means suitable for the hold.

    Putting a cat into a travel box of cabin luggage dimensions would be extremely bad for the cat as it needs sufficient room to stand, lie down, stretch or whatever else a cat may want to do.

    Thanks Pythia, that is probably the closest I would get, I would be amazed if they wouldn't allow it for 6-7cm over in width, it looks as if it has won awards and would be comfortable for the cat and is also reassuringly expensive! ;)
