Planes and pooches I flew from NJ to LA Calif to pick up my Sweet Pea. I flew Spirit. I used a purse type bag.They want the bag to completly close all around. They will give you the measurements for keeping your dog with you for the carier. You only have to use a CRATE if your sending your pet cargo. I made nice nice with the stewardess and the guy next to me. They didn't mind me holding Sweet Pea during the flight so we took nap together. Then again it was all stewardess's and pilots in that section on the way home.
Always call ahead and ask if they allow pets. I was quoted 50. up to 170. to bring a pet.You also have to take your dog to a vet and bring papres with you documenting it. Although they NEVER asked me at the airport to see them.
I hope I helped.
