Reader’s report: Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [US Airways partner flights on CRJ-200 and CRJ-900 aircraft]

Reader Kristen recently traveled on two regional US Airways flights (an Air Wisconsin partner flight and a Piedmont Air partner flight). She posted a report on Dog Jaunt’s Facebook page about the under-seat space she found on both CRJ planes, and kindly agreed to let me re-post it here on the blog: “I searched high and low for info on CRJs — I’m happy to share it with others :)”

Just flew US AIR — first a CRJ-200 (Air Wisconsin partner flight) then a CRJ-900 (Piedmont Air partner flight).… Read the rest

Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [American 737 -800]

I hardly ever fly on American, so I was pleased to find myself flying from Seattle to Dallas and back recently on a couple of American’s 737 (-800 series) planes. I was in Economy class, but the under-seat spaces in First Class looked the same (keep in mind, though, that I only had brief chances to glance, from walking height, at the First Class spaces).… Read the rest

Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [Continental 737-800/900]

I flew on two separate Continental 737s last week, both -800/900 series planes, and there were dramatic differences in their under-seat spaces. On both flights, I was in Economy class. I had purchased seats with extra leg room (which I always recommend when you’re traveling with an in-cabin dog, though I know it’s not always financially feasible), but the under-seat spaces for those seats are not any different from the regular Economy seats.… Read the rest

Reader’s report: Flying with an in-cabin dog on a Sun Country 737-800

I don’t fly on Sun Country, so I was delighted when reader Bev sent me an e-mail (with photos!) about a couple of recent trips she took with her Shih Tzu on two Sun Country 737s (one an -800 series, and the other either an -800 or a -700 series). … Read the rest

Update: Height of Southwest’s under-seat spaces (737 -300 and -700 series)

Back in September 2010, I reported that the height of Southwest’s under-seat spaces, at least on a 737 -700 series plane, was 11 inches. In December 2010, however, reader David alerted me that on his flight, the under-seat space was reduced to 8.5 inches by a life-vest container.… Read the rest

Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [United 777-200 WW2]

We recently flew on a United 777 Overwater from Washington-Dulles to Charles de Gaulle. According to SeatGuru, the 777-200 we traveled on is called a “Worldwide 2″ (WW2). I was in seat 21A, in Economy Plus, and my husband was in seat 13H, in Business (we had to sit separately, since Chloe was not allowed to travel in Business).… Read the rest

Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [United 757 Overwater]

I’ve reported before on the under-seat measurements of United’s 757-200 planes. A few days ago, I flew on a United 757 Overwater plane, and although SeatGuru does not break United’s 757 Overwaters out into a separate category of 757-200s, there were some differences in the under-seat spaces you should know about.… Read the rest

Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [Alaska 737-800]

I don’t fly on Alaska or Horizon, so I was thrilled when a Dog Jaunt reader took the time to measure not only the spaces around her (she’d been upgraded to First Class) but also the under-seat spaces in Coach Class.… Read the rest

Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [Delta DC-9]

Who knew that there were still DC-9s out there? It turns out that Delta has quite a few of these planes of my youth, though they’re likely to be retired in favor of more fuel-efficient alternatives. That’ll be a shame for Chloe, because the under-seat space on a Delta DC-9 has to be seen to be believed.… Read the rest

Which seat works best with an in-cabin dog? [Delta 757-300]

Although I have nothing but bitter things to say about the space available for humans on this plane, Chloe seemed to have an okay flight.

Delta’s 757 (-300 series) planes are divided into First Class and Economy Class. I only caught a glimpse of First Class as I was walking through, but the under-seat spaces didn’t look impossible for an in-cabin dog.… Read the rest
