Carry on pet two in same carrier?

[mypreciouspups]

Ask the airline your flying with if once you are up in the air if you can take the dogs out and out them on your knee... I know my sister flew from tampa florida to syracuse New York and Sara was on her knee the whole trip.. only in the cage for getting on the plane and going up... just a thought.. and if you can do this. then two in the same cage will not be a problem..I would find out.. It is a long long flight.. I think maybe you should also ask if they can go any other way... in cargo... I would not always recommend that, but some flights their cargo is ok for pets.. again depending on the airlines..
Hope you get home alright with you babies..

No they can't come out. I don't want them to go under they will freak I am going to get some stuff from the vet to help them sleep. Last time I flew with one she was asleep the whole time.

Wow, Delta is harsh. We flew American Airlines and they said that our doggies could be in the same carrier. They were only in the Sherpa carrier for takeoff and landing. They were the stars of the flight and the flight attendants oohed and ahhed over them. Maybe because they were littermates it was okay?

[ashleamechelle]

Well at first they said they could and now they are saying no but I think the lady I talked to is stupid she couldn't even give me measurements for the carrier so.... How big are your babies? My girls Lily is like 8inc tall and 12 long and Daisy is 13-14 long and 10 tall. Lily is about 5-6 punds and Daisy is 8.5 maybe. Do you think they will be fine in the same carrier? They will only let me take one.

Just wanted to let yall know I found a carrier I got a stroller one that you can remove the carrier so I would not have to carrier so much! I hope they don't have a problem. I took the carrier off the stroller and open the door Daisy jumps right and and sleeps in there it is so cute!! Now my other one has not she doesn't like it so I am going to have to work on that now til Monday. The carrier I got was 18 1/2 long 11 W and 11 1/2 H I hope that is not to big the air line said that would be fine but hey you never know. Has anyone ever used a stroller carrier? Thanks for all the help

I know it is too late for this trip, but have you ever checked with Lufthansa ? I dont know what their regulation is, but couple of yrs ago when i went to germany (where i am from) it was a 9 1/2 hr nonestop flight, and i am on the westcoast ! Just a heads up for next flight !
Wish you luck, and i hope they can fly with you ! Keep us posted !

If you're not satisfied with what this woman told you, I would call back and speak to a supervisor, get her name, extension, etc., etc.

I would also tell anyone who might think of not allowing you on that you want to speak to a supervisor. I would also tell them that your husband is fighting for this country and their freedom!

I hope you don't need to argue with anyone and it all goes smoothly for you and the dogs.

Well I have called about a 1,000 times I bought my plane tickets based on if my girls would be able to go on with me or not I would not be flying home if they couldn't go on. I do not trust them going under I just don't understand I have been told every time I call that it is fine don't worry about it and then that one lady said no I am not going to worry if I have to get into it with them then I will. They know its military I got my plane tickets through military. I really don't think I will have a problem. I just don't want anyone to give me a hard time.I have enough going on here and that would just top it off! My girls are my kids and they mean the world to me I could not ever leave them behind nor would I put them under I just can't bring myself to do it! If I have to go my husband being deployed then I will but I really hope I wont have to go that far with it! Thank you for all the help!

when I traveled with my 2 in 1 bag - no one could have cared at the airport or on the plane. I think these airlines have so many rules, but on the plane those flight attendants have so many other things to think about. Security just made over my dogs, as did the other passengers.

Glad you found something to work for you -- I know that was a big fret for me finding the right carrier. I hate to think how much time I spent online & in shops looking! Have a safe, uneventful trip!

[ashleamechelle]

It has taken me so long to find one I am in Germany and booked the trip in a week so I didn't have time to look online and order one I had to find one here and I do not know how to get anywhere here in germany so I has 4 pet stores to work with. I just hope they don't give me a problem with the stroller I know the carrier is fine (I hope) but are they going to make me take the stroller on as a carry one? I have to take a back pack to for my computer and the passports and the girls paper work they have to have everything from the Vet so I don't know how they will take all that!

[ashleamechelle]

I always have my husband with me!!! I am just scared and I am sure I have no reason to be but I am in another country (going crazy) Like I said I don't know how to get anywhere but to the base it is horrible I just need to get back to Oklaoma with my family!!! I wont have to come back until a week before my husband! I just can't take it here by myself no friends, no job , nothing but my girls and my husband which is not here! I just don't want any problems at the airport!

I think you should say your babies are "mommy and baby." They will let a mommy travel together with her pup, or at least the airlines have told me this. Because our babies are so small, people really can't tell if they are full grown or pups

[ashleamechelle]

Well I have a full bllod yorkie and then I have a half maltesse/ half yorkie so they don't look alike but I told the air lines they are sisters. They told me as long as they are the same breed which they pretty much are and if they get along then it would be fine. I am just scared.

[ashleamechelle]

Also my girls aren't that small my little one is she is 5-6 pounds and then my older one is 8-9 pounds they will both fit in the carrier together an with both of them in it, it is 18-19 pounds all together. They are just going to be a little tight fit I hate to put them through that but if they knew what it would be like under the plane they would thank me haha. Plus I don't want to go through that stress of them under there.

They can't count the dog bag as a carry-on because you paid for them. So you get the dog bag, plus a carry on. I was flying on a smaller plane, and I had a flight attendant bark at me, as I got on the plane that I would have to put one bag inside the other - when I told her I couldn't do that because the one bag had my dogs, she totally changed her tune - on small planes, they don't let you have a purse & a laptop bag. My advice to you is put as much as you can in the laptop bag, including your wallet, etc. so you have only the dogs & laptop to be concerned about.

With a stroller, you should be able to push it down to where they tag rollon luggage & baby strollers - take the bag off & let the stroller part go - sure you already had that part figured out.

I also carried on a small blanket - I put this up against one of the vented ends of the bag when I sat next to the window and could feel cold air pouring out onto the floor of the airplane, so the babies wouldn't be too cold. You are going to have a very long flight. I did get my 2 out and they slept under a blanket in my lap for a great deal of time. You may need to do this, when you're wide awake - just with 1 at a time, to give the other furbaby room to stretch out.
