It is a small black carrier with mesh on some of the sides (ends I believe) and it pretty colorful on the two main sides. It is able to completely zip up and is $29.99. There is a larger one as well but if you want it to be as small as possible for this trip, the little one would be okay. I'm more than glad to help you out on this! Lisa :animal-sm |
Meg~ Most of the ones that are "airline approved" state this on them so look for that and have fun shopping! |
The one I described isn't shown on their website. They've only had it in the store for the last month or so. Many carriers won't specifically say airline approved. Delta may have given you the dimension requirements for your specific aircraft when you made Keeley's reservation since they have different sized planes and don't list their specifications online because of that (that is the reason they put on their website for why the size limitations aren't posted). US Airways soft-sided size requirement is no larger than 21" x 16" x 10" (L x W x H) just to give you an idea. Continental's dimension requirements are 22" L x 14" W x 9" H and offer to sell you a 17" L x 12.5" W x 8" H for $45.00. My daughter flies Delta on Tuesday afternoon and I can let you know how the checkin at New Orleans is at the Delta counter for Cooper. Cooper's is 16" x 11" x 10" and it was approved by Delta when the reservation was made. One of my daughter's planes only carries about 20 passengers . . . I'm sure that flight determined her max. size she could take. Lisa |
There are so many carrier choices now - the prices are way down and the look of them has improved - you can even color coordinate now - when I got to my sons wedding - I WISH I was taking my girls ! |

I am glad to hear that they relax the rules like that and allow the dog out especially on a long flight like that. I will look into those treats. Do you know what's in them? Is it herbs that calm them? |
On a May 27th US Airways flight from New Orleans to New Bern, NC, the rules were not relaxed. Everything was enforced. On a May 30th US Airways flight from New Bern, NC to New Orleans, the rules were not relaxed again. Everything was enforced. If you are travelling by air, please prepare yourself for the worse case scenario -- your dog may have to remain in their carrier from the time you enter the airport until the time you depart from your final destination. It is better to be prepared and your pup to be prepared then to have heartache hearing your lil' one crying because it has to be confined. With any luck, you'll find an airline that won't follow the rules strictly. |
okay this is off-topic..buttttttttt ...if you had 2 service dogs.. would they both be allowed on the flight?? 2nd.. if you just had 2 yorkies would they both be allowed on the plane or would one have to go to cargo.. just curious because i do travel quite a bit and i'll be getting another yorkie in oct! so i'm trying to plan ahead! |
Kelly: As far as carry-on, each passenger is allowed only one pet. When my daughter and I flew to New Bern, the second plane was small. The maximum number of pets allowed total on the flight was only ONE. That is why we had to leave Cooper with a pet sitter. Even though there were two of us flying, the 2nd leg of our flight was restricted to only one carryon dog. I would think that the reason that each passenger is only allowed one pet (if the limit hasn't already been exceeded for pets on the flight) is because they are supposed to be in their carrier under the seat in front of you. I guess they don't want a second pet in your neighbor's carryon location. |

If the animals are service dogs you can definitely take two with you and there are no restrictions that they have to stay under the seat in front of you. In fact they can stay in your lap. Service dogs are not treated like other animals which is the beauty of the law allowing disabled people to use their animals to assist them in their day to day activities. I just spoke to Southwest Airlines who does not fly animals at all regularly, but they confirmed that all service animals are allowed in compliance with the federal law. I told her I had two and she said as long as they are service animals trained to assist me then they would be allowed with no restrictions and not extra cost. |
I am traveling to Florida again in possibly Nov. 2006 and I really want to take Riley and TJ. We have 5 people in the family going so the whole "one dog per person" won't be a problem. Let me know how it goes so i am prepared. I also have a question: We ususally fly Continental and I was wondering if they allow Yorkies in like bags that stay on your lap. I may seem a little dumb by saying this, but how do the carriers fit under the seats? On the 2 Continental flights I went on, there were life jacket compartments under the seats. I checked, and there didn't seem to be any room for a carrier! :confused: |
If your dogs are not service animals then I would definitely check with the airline you intend to fly on about their rules. I do think that most who do allow pets to fly require them to be small enough to fit in a carrier that will fit under the seat. If they don't have room under the seat, they either don't allow pets to fly in the cabin, or they allow it, but have different policies about where the animal needs to stay during the flight. If you contact some different airlines let us know what you find out. We are all curious. |

Ahhh, no oxygen??? Thanks for the info. Wow, the service dogs are allowed in first Class too. This is because, by law, they cannot place restrictions on their accessibility because to do so would be discriminating against the disabled. Makes sense. |
