Looking for airline approved carrier HI! I am looking for a carrier that is Airline APPROVED. I will be flying home from Japan in Oct/Nov and will need a carrier that will allow my baby in the cabin with me. His two brothers are going to ride below (they are too big!) and I don't trust Turbo down there! 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! Lisa |
Here is the carrier I bought off ebay from this seller. He is great to work with and this carrier is so nice! http://cgi.ebay.com/CR009-TanSizeS-C...QQcmdZViewItem |
try petco and petsmart.com... also try some of the memebers shop on YT. |
This is the one that I used and it worked great! It something you don't have to carry. I just wheeled Millie thru the airport and the gates. No Problems. http://www.snoozer-dog-beds.com/WheelAway/wheel1.htm |
I think Sherpa is the best "airline" bag you can get for your money and safety. It has 3 sides that are ventilated. I couldn't find a small one so I ended up buying a different brand at Petsmart but it's made just like the Sherpa. (Also, you might want to make sure of your airlines size requirements.) |

There's also an expensive brand called "Pet Flys" who do have regulations bags for airlines. Good Luck - let us know which one you decide on! :) |

Check the individual requirements of the airline you're going to travel. I found Petsmart has one that is supposedly airline approved, but it is 19" long, and the airline I'll be flying on in August has requirements not to exceed 17" long. So check and make sure. Also the requirements on the airline I'm flying on say it has to have at least 2 vented sides, so another one I bought I can't use. So I'm getting this one: http://www.thepetonline.com/product_...ducts_id=44202 |
I've actually done research on several airlines to see which one I wanted to fly Sukoshi on when we go home for Christmas, so I thought I'd save you a step and post the measurements I have for each airline that I looked into. If you're not flying any of these...sorry...this at least gives you an idea of what sizes the other airlines allow! Airline Carrier Limitations Continental 22" L x 14" W x 9" H American 23" L x 13" W x 9" H United 22" L x 14" W x 9" H Delta 22" L x 14" W x 9" H Midwest 18" L x 11" H Alaska 24" L x 14-19" W x 9-11" H (depending on aircraft) US Airways 17" L x 16" W x 10" H Frontier NO PETS ALLOWED IN CABIN Southwest NO PETS ALLOWED ON AIRCRAFT |

Oh yeah...I can totally relate. When I was in school, before I got my degree, I had my excel spreadsheets all set up, so I knew where I stood with my grade (ok...they were all A's, but I was so anal, I had to make sure the whole time). It would give me a sense of peace to know the lowest grade I could get on the final and still be within the 93% required to get my A...LOL. I have one set up for the pool too. It tells me the exact amount of chlorine I need to add based on the chlorine demand at the time.:thumbup: |

Yes, I could. I had to put it in with the narrow end first and the wheel part at the opening, because it has a wider base, but it did fit under the seat just fine. No problems. There is a separate zipper for the base part of the bag, so I just opened it, so Millie did not get too claustaphobic. |
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. |
1 Attachment(s) I have this one ... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll..._promot_widget 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. |
Wow, I got through reading this and spent like 2 hours looking at doggy carriers online! haha. Thanks for the list and thanks to EVERYONE for the help!!!!!! ~Lisa |
if you're looking for a pet flys carrier (its mini sz though), there's a YT member selling hers http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...08#post1200408 its really cute .. i'm still considering getting it ;) btw .. i don't think that the med size pet flys carrier is airline approved . |

2 Attachment(s) 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. |

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! |

1 Attachment(s) 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. http://celltei.com/dibape.html |
