This crate collapses! Are you sure they're acceptable for airlilne travel?

They are too large for in cabin travel. As far as under the plane, I would check wit the airline you are using. Pet travel has become more regulated (which is good) but also less uniform so each airline has slightly different rules.

No, actually, I am sure they are NOT acceptable for airline travel. They collapse for easy storage and to transport them without a dog, but they would not fit under any seat I've ever seen on a plane.

Always check with the airline on any pet carrier. Sometimes it will depend on the person at the checkin counter. Not right, but that's the way it is.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure about Airline regulations, but I'm very pleased with the carrier. It's sturdy and easy to operate.

Mine worked fine twice so far. I had 3 in a large bag and then packed some other clothes I them for storage in a wall locker. 2 didn't make it however. There are large cuts in them. I couldn't tell if the were from something in the bag with them or TSA's rough handling of my luggage. Either way they work as a any times as you need them so long as you're not too rough with them. If they're just being used for storage in a closet they'd probably last a very long time. You also can just roll the air out of them if you do not have a vacuum.

They should have no problem if you have room for them in the car. Consider a milk crate?

I would say as long as you aren't traveling far with them, yes. The only weird part would be if you were rolling it or carrying it like a backpack, as the bottom is literally the size of the bottom of a backpack, so I don't think 2 could lay down, not sure if that's a concern for you. While the carrier is laying down, as in under an airplane seat, there is way more room. Compared to other carriers we looked at and tried to fit our 17 & 22 lb dogs in, these were fantastic and you can't beat the price. I should specify that they each have their own carrier in case that reads like I try and cram them into one. That would be impossible. :) I would say as long as you aren't traveling far with them, yes.

No. The metal frame is too rigid and big. You'll also have trouble on most overhead bins. I take a soft side pack on planes.

While it is flimsy it is not going to fall apart. I just do not believe it will last any where near as long as the ine I bought from a local pet supply. More of aa concern are the latches which are a pain to operate.an update is needed- This week I came home 2 times to the pup (35 Lb lab) that was in this crate running loose. Both our pups have escaped by pushing an end panel out of the clips. Our sturdier crate bought years ago from petsmart will not bend enough to allow tis. I now have the panels zip tied to prevent future escapes

It would be fine if you're carrying the dog onboard the flight, but definitely not if the dog is going to be shipped in the hold. The pet will need a comfortable, locked crate with room to move around.

It would probably be ok ...It's not rigid at all and would just curve up little around the outside of the smaller sized crate.

hi, it's a very big crate that would accomodate my newf, but she doesn't find it stable enough. she prefers the wire crates.

No it is not. You have to use a hard sided dog crate for airlines. If you go to the airline website they list what they require. Usually a Vari-Kennel type is approved. The dog has to have the ability to be lifted on and off the plane if needed and a soft crate will not do that.

Don't think so. I do not fold my kennel up for travel , but if I remember correctly the bottom of the kennel folds up against the sides. Hope this helps.

I haven't had to travel with them, but unless you have a lot of room to store them when you travel, then you'd probably need to break them down. They weren't easy to assemble, I agree with you there!

I believe so, we never used them. our dog used the crate for a slumber haven. then we got adopted out the dog.he was too yappy-he was a shih tzu, which i miss him.

I dont see why there would be a problem with flying i would just not fill them completely. We put ours inside of gallon zip locs just in case.

Probably not. Guess it depends on the size if your suitcase. Are the dimensions listed? I'm not at home or I would measure. It does collapse to only a few inches.

There is a trick to getting it to fold down. The bars need to be in a certain position and if they don't fall that way then it will not collapse and fold. I'm folding challenged with this crate.

Bad. They broke open when i tried to move the bags with an item of moderate weight inside. I wouldn't trust them while riding, so I returned therm.
