Take a look at this website.....first row, 5th one down is one that I own.

That's the one I use for airlines. I use more of a purse like one for around town.

Oh, I like that one!! Is it lightweight? I have a Juicy one and find it so heavy and cumbersome. No clue why I bought it...I don't use it.

I had a moc croc one that was a burgundy color but I gave it to an adopter and have never been able to find another one like it. I am wondering if this might be a good substitute.

Well the moc croc one I have is exactly like the one on the website but, in Burgundy, I have it in two sizes; one for a pup and the other for a standard yorkie.....I got it at PetEdge, they no longer have it.....But, I have seen them in pet stores selling for a heck of a lot more than I paid for it.

The one I had was the small one and it came from Pet Edge. That happens a lot...retailers buy from Pet Edge and sell for way more! I have often seen things in stores that I can buy for much less online!

So, I guess this IS the same one. I need to get the name and look that way.

Thank you Jane. I meant no disrespect; I just get so upset about the airline fees. You and others bring up the point about liability. I do not understand the rationale for that in the least, and believe it is being used as an excuse to take advantage of small pet owners. Here is my logic: All they would have to do is make you sign a waiver, stating that any harm done to your pet that is in YOUR care aboard the plane is not the responsibility of the airline. Sign it, take the (extremely minimal) risk, and pay a carry on fee. If any major carrier offered that, think how much more business they would get.

Waivers work for this type of issue. I had to sign one when I went flying in a major celebrity's plane a couple years ago, because he had such deep pockets, as I suppose the airlines do. The chances of anything happening to me were extremely remote, but I understood the risks and was happy to sign. The cabin air pressure and quality is obviously good enough for a pet. I imagine if cabin pressure got low, there could be an issue w/masks, but if the owner were to waive responsibility for such an occurrence, I don’t see the problem.

One flight attendant (who was the nasty type that would yell at me for even letting my little pippin stick his head out of the carrier, even though he was barking his head off since he needed to see) told me that the high fees were due to "cleaning up" after pets. I don't believe there is any credence in that argument either, as I have never seen a pet make a mess on board, at least not one that the owner could not clean up. Don’t we allow for unattended minors and babies to fly? Babies that don’t get their own seat, fly for free. Parents change their diapers on board. I am not saying that a pet is as important as a person, that is not the issue, only trying to see the airlines logic in charging exorbitant fees. I will try to write an airline or two on their web sites and see what kind of packaged response I get.

I totally understand your frustration.......and agree with you. I've written a couple of Airlines and got a canned response....of the liability situation....I got nowhere. Now here's a kicker. Those that work for the airlines and fly free or by paying just taxes, don't pay for their pets. I know this for a fact. My son use to work for Saber (they make and provide the computers for American Airlines), so I flew for taxes....never paid for my dog.

I think it depends on the airline. I had a gal fly in from AL to adopt from me. She is a retired airline employee and had to pay for Lili, but not herself. I cannot remember which airline that was...I will have to ask her.
