	Chauncey, what kind of Sherpa bag did you get? Do you happen to know the dimensions?? Was it roomie? I think the bag I already ahve for Daffodil is a bit small so I'm looking to get something a little roomier. Something always seems to go wrong for me when I fly so I'm a tad bit overly paranoid about having her be turned away at the gate. She's a very very good girl though and the vet gave me some mild sleepy-pills to keep her calm. I'm supposed to check her in a ticketing before I head towards security. Are they going to weigh and measure my bag?? hahah I just want everything to go smoothly.

	Chauncey has the standard Large Sherpa bag, which is 18'' by 11'' and supports up to 22 pounds. He fits snuggly- not as roomy or tall as he might like, but manageble. FYI- Anything bigger is probably going to have a tough time fitting under a seat aboard an airplane. Be careful with carriers with wheels- they also take precious space underneath the seat. My vet advised against sedation- said it was unneccessary if the dog is "chill" to begin with. Said that the effects of the pill can last 24-48 hours after it's given. Chauncey and his bag were never weighed during either of his check-ins. He was acknowledged, and charged for his flight, but neither attendents seemed concerned about his weight. Good luck with your trip

	I have flown with my frenchie multiple times in dec. we were on 7 different planes. They were all AA and they were great! all the flight attendants checked in on bentley ALL the time..."does he need water?" "can I pet him?" On one flight they let me put him on the seat next to me (it was in first class) and open the bag! another flight they let me take him out and he slept on the seat next to me (it was a ferry flight with 5 REAL passengers) One flight attendant even told me to take him to the bathroom and put paper on the floor!! whaaaa?? so my experience on American has been fantastic! the only problem i had was trying to stuff the sherpa bag under the smaller airplane seats! ;(

	Thank you guys so much for all your answers! I am flying my frenchie Cooper for the first time and I've been a nervous wreck! He is 21lbs. and I've been afraid that he will be turned away at the counter for being a lb. over the 20lb max that Virgin America has. But thanks to your responses sounds like he will be just fine! Thank you and I just bought a Sherpa bag today. Sounds like the best one. Large size.

	Just a question (I don't have a Frenchie, but this forum has tons of useful info on in-cabin flying) how tall are you guys? I'm less concerned with weight more than I'm concerened with height! Our pup is 13" at the shoulders.. for those who have flown.. is that too tall?

	Bentley is now 28lbs and he is still able to fly, the last flight was in september...he is gearing up for another flight in 2 weeks!! other than my shoulder being in pain it has been fairly easy to fly with him!
