I'm also wondering the same thing. I'll be flying next month. I did call the airline (southwest) & they except pets. 2 concerns. Have to put her under the seat in front of me. So the crate has to be airline approved. The crate can only be 8" tall. My little girl is 10 lbs & she fits in my soft sided crate ok. But don't know how it'll work out until I get seated & look things over. Flight is 2 1/2 hrs. I'm concerned about her getting cramped. Second concern is will she get sick or develop ear ache from the altitude?
Thanks for any help.
