Re: Parakeets on an airplane... is it ok?
Posted by Tammy on 7/07/07

    Most airlines will not put them in cargo in the summer, as long
    as the carrier fits under the seat in front of you you will
    befine, just dont book a bulk head seat! A standard plastic
    carrier is fine when they are the plane with you, just not when
    they go into cargo, then you need very specific carriers.

    I flew with an M2 and got lucky that I was helped to have an
    empty seat beside me and a soft sided carrier that had straps
    to buckle in, so he rode right next to from St Croix. Check
    with the airline web site it will give you the measurements
    needed to fit under the seat.
