Is it airline approved, or easy to get on plane?

Well we used it on spirit airlines. You drive the scooter to the gate, before entering the plane they give you a ticket to reclaim the unit ice you get off the plane. They store it with the strollers. No charge was made to us for the unit.

I have never flown with it, but I have escorted my (minor) son through TSA/security with it many times, and never had a problem. I am always approached at the gate by attendants ready to load it for me (until they find out I am escorting only), so I assume that means it's ok. :)

It might be tad big and come up the sides of the plane seat a little, but I would definitely try it. The handle makes it easy to carry, it's not that heavy, and I don't think the airlines can balk at something that might be considered for medical purposes. It would give you a little bit of extra cushioning and comfort.

In my opinion, it will give you adequate padding (what is enough?), and is easily transportable. I would definitely consider taking it on a flight.

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.

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.

No not airline approved. No sift sided crate will be unless you carry on, this one is to big for that.

Yes, airline approved. However, I had a very difficult time with assembly and couldn't get the top to lock to the bottom.

Yes you do. It may take awhile if this is your first attempt, well worth it though. It is a great, easy to fly airplane.

We traveled with ours and it was easy. The stroller folds up quickly and was easy to maneuver through security. We chose to gate check and enjoyed having it available at our layover. The stroller held up well and has no damage from the travels.

From what I have read it is. From experiance if your taking it as a carry on it needs to fit under your seat. I dont know what the guidlines are otherwise. But like I said it did say it was airline approved and that is why one of the reasons I got one just in case.

We have used it on 8 flights so far. It is fine in the sense that it fits on the plane (we had it rear-facing) and it works the same as it would in a car. The downside is the weight of this carseat means it is not easy to haul this carseat onto the plane and through airports between flights (we strapped it to a cart to go from one gate to another). The other downside is that the person who sits in front of you won't be able to recline their seat on the plane at all and this may upset them (but this is probably true for most carseats). I would take it on a plane again.

We used this as a carrier on United, no problems at all. Not sure about each airlines' restrictions...

We have taken this on over a dozen flights and have never had a problem, even on regional jets. It is difficult to get down the aisle but works great on the plane.

I have used it on 3 flights and perfect but because not hard case some airlines require waiver form (Southwest). Soft with padding so not too heavy will have to look on their site for exact weight but i have liked it

Airport security did not make me take my carrier off when I traveled. Instead, they simply wipe your hands to do a test, which actually was very efficient and really didn't delay me much, if at all. It was certainly faster and easier than taking my baby out of the carrier.

No...United Airlines and no problems. Plus no longer felt embarrassed asking for one. Just love it.

IF that means approved by the airlines, yes. I flew my Giant Schnauzer from Detroit to Cancun and back on Delta and all went well with the crate.
