P.S. I hope none of my posts come across like whining...I will try to go regardless of where it is. At the moment, I'm struggling with the logistics of flying and trying to work that out. |
No they don't from my experience - I was concerned about this the 1st time I flew too - lol. Also, they did not weigh my carrier.
But the biggest thing to be concerned about, is that the carrier fits under the seat. I even searched online and found a site that listed measurements for about everything on the smallest plane I would be on.
Because my understanding is that if the bag doesn't fit under the seat, the bag, dogs and all have to go with the flight attendant to some bigger spot
There is a lot more info about all of this and bags in the TRAVELING WITH YORKIES forum. Almost every question you have about flying has been asked there/
I spent countless hrs looking at bags in person and online
In the long run, I bought a roomy bag I found on clearance at Petco - not my favorite color, but roomy and very functional - because I decided that I had enough pretty purses for the babies and this carrier would only be for airline travel.
