Quick question?? Does anyone owning a coach pet carrier ever used it for flight travel?? Is it a bag that the airlines will allow??? Plan on doing some air travel next year and would like to use my Coach bag!!! Paid enough for it!! lol And Nathan loves it and gets in it with out any coaxing..i just say get in the bag and in he goes!!! lol

I flew with my Coach carrier. On the first flight there it was a small plane so it was a tight fit under the seat, in fact I almost couldn't fit it On the way back it fit under the seat just fine. The woman at the ticket counter on the flight back commented that the bag should have ventilation on atleast 2 sides (my Coach only has ventilation on one side) but didn't make a huge deal out of it.

Thanks Monica for the info!! what airlines did you use??? I just got mine and I don't think they come with ventilation on both sides..I am not sure if the airline approved bags have ventilation on both sides??!!

I flew Delta. On the way there they never mentioned the ventillation thing at all. When I called the airline to reserve her a spot on the plane they gave me measurements on the size of carrier but never mentioned the ventillation thing either so I really don't know if it is a policy or just one woman commenting on it

I see you are from Atlanta! My boyfriend is working in Alpharetta and I fly there every couple of weeks to see him. I've only taken Madeleine with me once though.

Your not far away at all!! One of my close friends lives in Alpharetta.I actually live 10 minutes from the airport!! lol they have a great doggie park in Alpharetta that i have visited!! You have to let me know the next time you come and bring Madeline!! Her and Nathan can have a play date!!!

Many of the bags are really not well ventilated for the dogs under the airline seat. I would suggest using one that has really good ventilation as many of the seats you have to wedge the bag under--JMHO.

Thanks for that tip!! I am beginning to think that the Coach bag is really more for just being out and about and not one for actually using on the plane!!
