Best Carrier For Traveling To Fit Under Seat

[RileyDC]

So Riley and I are going to Florida in August.

I have a Kwigy-Bo [Large Black Alex], which he Loooooooves!!!!
Do you think it is okay to put under the seat in front of me, for
travel, or do you think it will cave in on him? I want him to be as
comfortable as possible.... and am thinking maybe I should buy him
the Medium Sherpa?

We'll be going down on AirTran and then coming back on either
US Air or Jet Blue. The Height requirement on AirTran is 8.5" high
and Jet Blue says 8" High... but both the Kwigh-Bo and Sherpa are
about 10.5" High.
I mean, do they really measure... and is that really going to make a
differance? I am sure I will be able to cram them both under the seat
regardless......

When my best friend had her dog shiped to her
I took the bag to the airport and asked if it was okay
As far as I'm. Concerned its the only way to know for sure

That looks like a great carrier, Theresa . Whenever I've flown w/ the kiddos, no one has ever measured anything, nor have they ever asked for a health certificate. The one you have is similar to the one I use for Wylie (he is bigger). For Marcel, I've used a Celltei, which I love - so nice and well made!

I don't think the one you have will collapse at all...there is usually some wiggle room w/ the measurements they give you.

Also, a tip for flying during summer...I find it can get pretty warm under those seats since the A/C never reaches down there. In the past, I've put frozen gel packs under the carrier's interior pad (or, under their blanket) to add a bit of coolness. Other things to put under there are those freezable seed packs or whatever they're called.

Have fun on your vacay, girly poo!

I'm usually down in SouthBeach around New Years and again in March.....

This trip I am flying into Ft. Myers to visit my niece for labor day weekend and then will be driving up to Largo, FL to spend the following weekend.... flying out of Tampa. Ft. Myers is AirTran and then Tampa is going to be either USAir or JetBlue... haven't decided just yet.

You will be driving right by Sarasota

I have the small Alex and just bought a large Alex.

I also have a large (leather) KB. Yes, KB either has in the past, or still does, manufacture real leather bags.
( The one I purchased is now discontinued. )

That is seriously directly across the street from my house

I actually bought a Sherpa to bring Gio home from Florida. He loved it so much, he sleeps in it at my feet, and that is now his "traveling bag". Both Gio and Natty fit in it. It fits the airline's requirements. It is good and sturdy ann has room for him to turn around if he wants.

It is the small. When I got him he was four pounds and natty was 3. Now they are 8 and 4 so I am going to now get the medium since they always curl up together, travel together and nap in it LOL. You will love the Sherpa. There are threads here that go over traveling, etc ...Good luck
