 Luftansa Air  maximum height is 85cm or 33.50 inches so your kennel will still fit into Luftansa's cargo doors. 

If your dog is traveling internationally the airline NOW requires for the safety of your dog a full 2-3" of extra head room above your dogs head or tip of ears (in pointy eared dogs).  If you have an existing 500 size kennel that your dog is acclimated to and fits your dog but lacks the extra head room required, the 500Plus Kennel expansion kits are the perfect accessory. They easily modify your 500 XL dog kennel into airline compliant. Simply add the 5 rails in between the top and bottom and install the door spacer.

Some drilling is required.
