We sat on the runway for 4 hours and it was freezing under the seats from the air conditioning. I did take Kalina out and held her on my lap because I was afraid she'd get hypothermia. The attendant never said a word and, of course, I asked people around me if they minded before I took her out. After my trip I was so happy that I took her on with me and did not put her in cargo. Good luck on your trip and let us know how everything goes! |
That is cool that they had a carrier available for you to purchase for such a decent price. I had ordered one from Tinkerbell's Closet, that hasn't even arrived yet. Then I saw my airline requires that there be two vented sides. I was so afraid that I'll get there with this one and have them say, "sorry, you can't fly now" that I ordered another one.
It is not enough for it to say "airline approved". So I just ordered this one from here:
