I travel with my babies ALL the time. Only one can go with me at a time though. Airline approved just means they need to be enclosed fully.... so all you with the Juicy bags..... it's not going to work. Plus size is different with every airline so you have to check with which ever one you are travelling with. You need to tell the airline you are bringing a pet so they can reserve it. The cost is between $75.00 to $150.00 one way depending on the airline. There is usually a limit to 3 pets per plane so you better check because a lot more people travel with a pet than you might think. Once you check in a the counter.... you will pay and hand them a health certificate from your vet dated not longer than 10 days before your travel date. Certain airlines do not require but for the most part they do. Again, depending on where you are headed, you need to check state to state or country procedure. Hawaii is a 6 month quarantine...... so you better make sure you check. The counter lady who hand you a bright tag which you will then put on the bag. When you walk through the baggage check/x-ray machine... you need to TAKE your baby out of the bag.....(try to wear clothes with no metal ...nothing to set off the detectors) place all your bags...including your baby's bag through the machine. You will walk through the detector HOLDING your baby in your arms. Get to the other side and put her back in. THe flight crew will know you are with a pet cause it pulls up on their computer.... but I usually travel alone and I get the window seat. Why? Because you are not allowed to take baby out at all during the WHOLE flight. They don't care if it is screaming bloody MURDER. I will put the bag under the seat in front of me.... GRAB 2 airline blankets and cover my lap and pretend to sleep...... then when the plane is lifted and everybody is busy.... I will sneak my baby on my lap covered by the blanket and usually.... it's my MaeMae... she'll just sleep the whole way there. Then I have the 2.5 lb of PURE terror! BeeBee is HYPER and will not sit still or stay in the bag for long. So with him, I will set him under the seat... plane takes off.... when I am able to... I will take the bag(him in it) and retreat to the bathroom. Remember to bring your weewee pads. I'll take a bathroom and put the pad on the floor and let him play there..... for as long as I don't hear that knock on the door. It depends on your baby and personality. I travel with MaeMae more....for obvious reasons. She's a angel doll and behaves soooooo proper. But travelling with you yorkie can be pure BLISS or total TORTURE.... I've gone through both. Good Luck!
