I am traveling with my bird (green check conure) in the cabin of an airplane across the country. Would this be a good carrier for air travel?

I don't think it would fit under the seat because of the height so not sure they would allow it. Check the dimensions. It certainly is easy to carry and sturdy enough just not sure it would fit.

I would check with the Airline first because you may have to put the travel carrier under your seat. The Airline may ask you for the dimensions of the travel carrier which are 10" wide x 12" deep x 15" high (17" high w/handle). 3/8" wire spacing. 3/4" diameter perch. I would like to also recommend 'Tips to boost your bird's comfort while traveling" http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pic/article.cfm?articleid=2603 Have a safe journey. Terri

I think it's a terrific carrier and would highly recommend it as far as being lightweight, durable, and safe. However, be sure to have a dark pillowcase or something to put over the carrier so that he cannot see out so that his stress levels are reduced.

The Petmate website only states it is good for air travel but does list any ratings. I would reach out to Petmate's customer service and also the airlines.

I think it will be fine. There should be plenty of room for a parrot of that size. If it were too big, I think the bird might not feel secure, even if his regular cage is larger. This cage is very sturdy and somewhat heavy. I actually purchased mine in the event of severe storms, but I would use it if we traveled. I can put her (Grey) in and get her downstairs quickly. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have one of these for my caique. It would not really fit under a plane seat unless you turn it on its side. It has a pretty stiff frame. We used it on a road trip moving across the country, and it is a really great travel cage/backpack. Also, you may want to check the airline rules for bringing a caique on the plane. As far as I understand, caiques are exotic birds and are not allowed in the cabin on any airline. Good luck!

I think the cage would be fine for a Parakeet. I have a cockatiel in my cage the bird and I both love the cage.

Yes. It's perfect for going under the seat in front of you on a plane. Much more flexible than many other soft sided pet carriers.

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.

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

Yes this carrier could be used as an in cabin since it will zip close I would save a picture if you decide to ask the airlines also.

You better check with United. I think they only allow certain dimensions. The extra large would probably be too big. Delta is the only airline I found who seemed flexible. They had one plane with a larger area under the seat in first class,but I am not sure with aircraft it was. It was like a 700 or 900. I never ended up using the carrier because it was for transporting a rescue dog (cairn terrier 14 lbs). The foster parents wanted to drive him. Good luck.

I think it would, on the condition he/ she will be out the majority of the time. I use to to transport my African Grey and sometimes at home. He is usually out though and has 2 very large cages..

I have an eclectus parrot, which is much larger than your conure and he does fine. He travels outside with me everywhere in it. Not sure if you can get yours out when you reach your destination but for size, it would work well.

Definitely not. Cockatiel or small conure would be okay. It's not very sturdy at all.

I think it would be. My Parrotett is a bit smaller but your conure would enjoy the top gym immensely!

Someone else mentioned that United would not take it for transporting a pet in the baggage area due to the top door. So I would suspect is it NOT approved for airline travel. Probably need one with a solid top for that. However, transporting a pet in the cargo hold on an airplane is risky for your pet anyway. Check with the SPSCC and other similar agencies for their views on this issue. I would probably leave my dog home rather than risk an incident with her on the plane. If I had to take her with me then I would get a small, soft sided carrier and fly with an airline that allowed her to travel with me in the passenger area. Not an option for larger dogs as I understand this issue.

You should be able to carry it on most airplanes but you should always check with your carrier first. It is rugged enough to check as checked package for sure. Just invest in a lock.

my Amazon fit well, so the Sun conure is smaller, it should work. Not for lengthy stay. One person commented on bringing her bird to work and sitting this on her desktop each day. It could work for that but my birds have to get out from their larger cages and crawl around more to be happy, so I would only use this for travel or even travel within the house.
