I also have a question: We ususally fly Continental and I was wondering if they allow Yorkies in like bags that stay on your lap. I may seem a little dumb by saying this, but how do the carriers fit under the seats? On the 2 Continental flights I went on, there were life jacket compartments under the seats. I checked, and there didn't seem to be any room for a carrier!  |
Ok, well I went to Continental.com and answered my own question:
Continental allows domesticated cats, dogs, pet rabbits and household birds to be carried in the aircraft cabin on all U.S. domestic flights (except to/ from Hawaii). An in-cabin pet may be carried in lieu of a carry-on bag and is subject to an $80.00 service charge each way ($160.00 for round trip travel). Pets can be booked online or by calling Continental reservations.
For International in-cabin pet acceptance and service charge information, contact our worldwide reservation office (in the U.S. 1-800-525-0280) for assistance.
Pets must be carried in an approved in-cabin kennel. The pet must be able to move comfortably in the kennel (stand up and turn around). The kennel must fit completely under the seat forward of the customer and remain there at all times aboard the aircraft.
