Tips for In-Cabin travel?

I have an eskipoo dog. She weights 23lbs and her length is about 18 and her H is about 15". I purchased a Large Sherpa Pet Carrier (18" L x 11" H, for 22lbs) for her because I want to be able to travel with her on an airplane. She is fully trained to go in her bag, and she gets really excited to see it! I tell her to go in her bag, she runs and jumps in it. If I only have the side door open she goes inside and curls up and lays down. Although she is fully trained to be in her bag "comfortably" its obvious that she cant fully stand up if she wants to. She has learned the command "turnaround" and I've taught her how to turn herself around in the bag, but ultimately, is she too big to fly? Will the airlines allow her on board if she can't fully stand? She can turn around and lay down in the bag comfortably, will they allow this? What airlines will also allow a 25 lb dog? I know some have weight limits. Thanks for your help with this. She goes everywhere with me, but we've yet to fly!
