is it approved for airline travel?

Hello Joyceleane.....I checked the carrier to see if it would tell if it is approved for airline travel, but therewasn't any info on the carrier. The door front is metal...the rest of the construction is plastic. Size is for a pet up to 15 lb. I'm sorry I couldn't answer you question.

Joyce: if it is a model that comes with 4 metal screws and 4 plastic wing nuts, it is. There would also be 4 (square) pre-drilled holes on both the top and bottom halves (one at each corner), where the screws could be fastened (inserted from below, with the plastic wing nuts screwed on at the top). These four screws, when installed, should make the pet taxi 'airline compliant.' (I just bought two of these from a different retailer - the only difference being that the top halves are blue - otherwise, they're exactly the same. You can't see the screws attached in the photo, because they're essentially optional - I don't fly, but the screws make the entire assembly more sturdy.) I hope this helps!

Maybe he means tsa approved?Sounds like people have been able to travel with it without any problems, so I would guess the tea has no problems with it.

I am not sure. You may want to check with the airlines to see what is acceptable to travel with.

I agree .....It has two locks and I believe it to be airline approved for shipping

There is a TINY sticker saying it is approved for flight, verify compatibility with the specific airline. The sticker is plain & small quite easy to overlook. Contact the airline you plan to use & they will let you know.

no there is only one that is FAA approved and it is only for the airplane.. I bought it too. We brought the car seat vest to Aruba and couldn't use it because of the type of seat belts in the taxi's. We ended up just using the lap belt. :(

I bought this bag for my girlfriend. She has carried it on certain airlines that use bigger aircraft. Some of the regional airlines do not have room in the overhead bins, but you should be able to gate check it. Also, when I bought it, I am almost certain that it said that it was carry-on approved. Maybe some of the requirements have changed.

Yes I have traveled a few times with this case on airlines without any issues. It meets TSA travel requirements. Make sure to check your carrier guidelines since they may vary, but for the most part have it in your check in baggage and notify the attendee during check in and they will provide you with a card to fill out. It is perfect for flying.

We flew Delta and it was fine, and I imagine it would be okay on most others. Might want to check the specific airline requirements to be sure.

Yes. It meets both the international (IATA) and domestic airline pet carrier requirements, according to several pet travel sites.

Yes, I would consider it airline safe. I feel it is, for the money, a good value.

No. Its dimensions are larger than the ones allowed by the airlines. It will have to be checked in at the counter.

Yes, that's why I bought it. I've carried it on many times, no problem. It is small enough it will fit any airlines carry on restrictions.

Yes, it is certified for aircraft travel. I went to the website for you. http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/b-safe

I am not certain but I don't think so. I love this carrier for home and camping trips because it colapses with ease but I wouldn't use it for the airline.

Yes it is. It is compact and easy can be carried on or checked depending on the airline.
