| How can you fly commercial with a dog that is not a certified service one? |
| If they’re a puppy or small enough to fit in a carrier. |
| DP. I'm also interested in this question. Our dog won't fit under the seat in front of us. But can I buy her a seat and she flies in a carrier on the seat? |
I don’t think you can buy a seat for a non service dog |
| I thought they go with the luggage under the plane? |
Please drive. Don't subject everyone else in that yoght enclosed space to an untrained not a service dog pet. |
|
You don't.
You drive. Or you ship the dog cargo. |

Do not send the dog in with luggage. Nightmare for the dog and many do not survive- or they get lost by escaping and running loose at landing or before.
We brought a dog that way from the UK to here, and while he did ok, he was traumatized. Friends of our's dog didn't make it. You can hire a pet transit service that just flies dogs - but that would be if you are moving, not a trip. $$$$$ |

There is a Facebook group called “flying with dogs” that can walk you through picking an airline, selecting a crate, getting the proper documentation, and tell you what to expect when you bring the dog to the airport and deliver them to the cargo drop off.
If the dog isn’t a service dog, or under 20 lbs and shorter than about 10” (varies slightly based on airline), they aren’t going in cabin. |

"many"? Really? Is that like "most"....? I don't think this is true. I think if it were true, it would be a bigger story. Since there's no story, I think you are making that up. Sure there are accidents and exceptions but I don't think you can truthfully characterize that as "many". |
