Looking for airline approved carrier

[Jenn218]

I found this thread soooo helpful! I too have been looking for airline approved carriers, just we ever need one. Lisa, thank you sooo much for that list! That is great! I have never flown w/ a pet, so I would have a lot of questions before I do.

I have this one ...

I have both the pink and the green one ... how big is your baby? I would not recommend this for a baby larger than 4.5 lbs.
but it is not on wheels, it can be carried on your shoulder quite comfortably.

I just flew to Texas with Holly and I bought this bag at Petsmart. It was $40 and it's actually a cat bag. I flew American and it was perfect. Fit under the seat and has lots of ventilation. It's also very roomy. I even had a suitcase for her.

Looking for something a little roomy, about the Sml/Med size pet fly's bags. I would like the price to be around $60-80. Thanks for looking!

Hi Lisa,

I just bought a Pet Fly carrier just today and it's made sooooo well! I got mine at a retail store and it set me back $135.00 but it really is worth it! I got the one with the Monkey on it.

I got the Small and my 3 pounder has plenty of room in it. I highly recommend it! Love mine!

That pink bag from PetSmart is the same one I have to fly Sukoshi home in December. Love it!

I LOVE my Celltei, I bought a matching shoulder strap - so I can use it now as a backpack OR a shoulder pack. AND, it was $39 (from $99). Marcel adores it.
