Flew on Delta with our little Molly she weighs about 5 pounds. Had to pay a $100.00 each way. Cost more than my ticket. I have a Brighten dog carrier and it fit well under the seat. We did get her some medication, she had never flown before. On take off I had to lean down in my seat to pet her, because she kept making those little wimmper barks. Once the plane was in the air she was fine. Shepra pet carriers are soft and most airlines will take this brand. If your new baby is small, she should have no problem with enough room under the seat. I actually picked up the bag and put it on my lap once we were in the air. There was another dog on the plane in the asile next to me, her dog was about 12 pounds a schnaunzer and she had a wheelie carrier and he did just fine. Good luck, it will all be worth it in the end. |
