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
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
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
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
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
“I write about all aspects of traveling with a small dog (our dog, Chloe, is a young Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), but most of the questions I get are about taking a small dog on a plane. And most of those questions are about choosing a carrier.… Read the rest
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
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
Delta’s A319 planes are divided into two classes, First and Economy. We were traveling in Economy, which has three seats on each side of the aisle. Row 9 is an exit row, so you will not be able to sit there with your dog.… Read the rest
Delta has a variety of 757-200 planes, and the seat pocket card only identified our plane as a 757-200(N). I can tell you, though, that it had eight door exits and no window exits, which narrows the field down a bit.… Read the rest
