I used it a trip and hotel stay - It worked great for my two small yorkies!

I would think so. It's very sturdy once you pop it up and insert the doors but you would need to check airline size limits. You could email the supplier -Vortex, I did and they got back to me right away

No. I doubt if any airline would allow it. It is a folding crate and possibly could collapse from plane vibration. It would also make a lot of noise as the parts vibrate which may cause more anxiety for your animal. I have owned this type of crate (Iris Ohyama - Trekker is a copy of this one) for more than 10 years and have traveled internationally with my dogs, but I would not recommend it for airline travel. We have two of the Trekkers and two Iris Ohyamas and they are great solid crates for almost any other purpose. Fold up nicely and take up minimal space when traveling by car. Easy to set up and pretty much chew proof. No. I doubt if any airline would allow it. It is a folding crate and possibly could collapse from plane vibration.

Yes, I was quite concerned about that as I wss taking an internationsl flight with two plane changes. Mine is a twin donkey and too large to be gate checked. A "fragile" tag was attached and it arrived safe and sound. The stroller is securely fadtened eithin the transport which has some insulation. Bon voyage!

The carrier is very light. My dog is 17 lbs. I pull her through the airport and carry her onto the plane. The weight is mostly the dog's weight.

Regardless of what pet travel sites may say, this carrier does NOT meet IATA regulations due to the top laoding door. It must be a solid roof (ventilation ir permitted within certain parameters) but cannot have a door.

I have this pet carrier, it's pretty strong but I'm not sure exactly of your question and what you are wanting to do? What do you mean by luggage straps and a seatbelt?

It doesn't need to be airline-approved, but it does need to meet your particular airline's requirements for pets in the cabin. I checked with various airlines that I considered flying, and it met all of their requirements. I eventually used it on Alaska Airlines. This carrier has a handy zippered porthole to pet the animal without allowing much room for it to get out. Airline rules say the entire animal must remain inside the carrier at all times. This carrier also has seat belt guides, so it can be placed on a seat and buckled in securely. We fortunately had an empty seat next to us, so I did this for part of the flight, and did not have to pay for a second seat at full fare!

I traveled on southwest with this carrier and no one questioned me. I put my 15lb shih tzu in it and she was just fine under the seat.

I purchased this carrier for our 10 wk old Appenzeller to fly in. I would suggest the large size The large size still fits under the plane seat if you need to fly, but gives the dog room to turn around. I love this bag, storage compartments, sturdy air screens to allow air put strong enough to not let the dog out.

It is certainly durable. The large will be plenty roomy but will (unlikely, please check with your airline) not fit under airline seat. I recently heard of someone storing their pet in the overhead in which case the large would work. Your pet would also fit into the medium size carrier and have room to turn around, but that's about it. The medium size carrier would fit under an airline seat and make an excellent car seat. The pet can sit up very comfortably while being "wheeled" around with the convertible top open (there is a security leash attachment to avoid their escape) &#128522;

You would have to call airline to see if they allow pets. It fit perfect under the seat for Delta. Love the design. Lots of ventilation. My dog had room to turn around. She weighed 14lbs. Very sturdy.

If your dog is flying in cargo it is NEVER safe to medicate with herbs or anything else. If it were something you were using long term and you could be sure the dog would be able to behave and sleep normally then it might be ok. If your dog is flying in passenger it could be ok, but I would still try it several times first. Each dog is different and you never know how they are going to react to any of these things. I have many years flying my dogs in cargo and in the passenger compartment in the US and internationally.

This bag is airline approved. You have to make sure that your dog is not over .our dog is 6 1/2 pounds and he fits very comfortably. Hope this is helpful to you. Have a safe flight.

I have not taken it on an airplane--only in car and RV. I think it would be ok as it is pretty flexible. You can try contacting and airline and asking them about the verticle space under their seats. If flying with your pet is your primary use of it then one of the lower ones might work better. I wanted it for the car and to have my cat be able to sit upright and it is good for that. Good luck!

Up to 7 lbs Medium 20" H x 14" W x 11" D ... Up to 15 lbs Large 23" H x 15.5" W x 12.25" D ... Up to 30 lbs My dog is a 17 pound Bugg (Boston Terrier/Pug). She has and still uses her Medium carrier which seems to fit under most airline seats. I recently bought her the Large carrier for her added comfort and the extra space in the pockets on the side for my essentials and hers. She is almost a senior now. I wanted her to have room to stretch out. If your dog is long bodied, I would get the Medium.

This carrier is WAY too flimsy for transporting an animal on public transportation. It's fine for your home. It's fine for transporting a dog to an obedience/agility trial; put it on a cart; you will not be able to carry it by the handle bcs it will too heavy with the pet inside. It probably is ok for transporting your pet in the car, but bungee it down for safety. I use mine for naps and overnights at home. mb

The description states that it is, BUT, I personally would not trust this product for airline travel. Wonderful for car travel, or home crate training. I am a multiple dog owner, I would never use this to transport my pets.

The only weight specs I know that are set by the airlines are that pets over 17 pounds can't ride in the cabin. Their size specs for kennels are that the pet can comfortably stand up, turn around, and lie in the kennel. When they stand, even the tips of the ears have to clear the roof.
