Is gate checking an issue for international flights?

I packed my bugaboo in the transport and checked it in, didn't bring it to gate, no problem doing that and didn't get charged for extra luggage (it's considered a stroller so free). Hope that helps!

This is going to be another bag for your quota, so be sure you have enough extra bags allowed

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.

Yes, I used the lock on my checked bag during a trip from Denver to London without providing anyone a key since they are designed for TSA to have access with their own set of keys. Upon my arrival back in Denver, I unlocked & opened the bag to discover a note from TSA indicating they'd inspected the contents of my bag.

Verify with TSA. But I believe no. http://www.tsa.gov/traveler-information/prohibited-items#4

No guarantees on this ever since TSA agents in different airport can interpret these rules differently, but I've been able to cruise through without removing it. If the KB is detached your chances are much better.

I would assume they would gate check it just like a stroller or wheelchair, can't see any reason why not. Remember that you will still have to have a way to get to your airplane seat once they take it away.... crutches or wheelchair.

Yes I have gate checked the donkey travel bag with air canada and allegiant with no problems, we find it a lot easier to use the stroller in the airport and just disassemble it at the gate.

Great question, Sara! Thank you for asking!In fact, the results in this area are mixed. We have had reports of the sleeves setting off the detectors in European airports, where the technology is different. However, as you can see from the earlier responses, our customers tend to see no problems getting through the detectors in US airports. Your results may vary.However, all our reports indicate the staffs at the airports are very familiar with the use of sleeves such as these and are not upset when the detectors are set off by them. Simple present the passport in the sleeve, pass through the detector again without them and everything should be fine.Have a great trip! Let us know how it turns out! Great question, Sara!

Yea absolutely, I never had any issues if youre referring to airline checkpoints? If not, please let me know but again I did not have any issues.

It can be checked in or handed in at the gate - packing it needs a large floor area therefore packing at the gate will cause a delay to other passengers.

I have an 18 lb Westi and have flown her in the U.S. without problems from USAir, AA, and Southwest. Can't answer about international flights

Lorraine, I strongly suggest that you gate-check the wheelchair if you get a bag for it. It will not go into the general checked baggage and it will be available (hopefully) shortly after you or someone else exits the plane. I can't help you with the bag issue, but I have had experience with transporting assist devices in bags. Good luck. Dave Cass

Yes. It is a bit big but they will let you use it on most airplanes. At the very least, they will allow you to gate check it for free. Check with the airline - you have to call them anyway to let them know that you're traveling with infants.

Yes, took in my backpack on 4 flights so far - no problems at all with Security screening.

I only have checked it in at the airport. But I know I could have gate checked my bugaboo in this transport bag. I have also seen people just gate check their bugaboo cameleon without the transport bag.

The airlines we've used have all provided gate check tags at the gate. If you are not sure if your airline will do that, you could make a tag. Just be sure it is waterproof.

We had no issues when we flew our pup in this. The carrier was United and it was a domestic flight... So I am not sure what the regulations are for international flights. However, I have seen people manually drill holes after they have the crate. We thought the crate was great for the price and would recommend it.
