Flying Airtran with 20lb pup
I am going to be flying Airtran with my 20 lb Norfolk ter. mix. I bought the Med. size Sherpa bag with the Delta logo on it. I am wondering if anyone has recently flown with and in-cabin pet and what your experience was? I am worried because i could not find a bag that met the size requirements. I did find that the Sherpa "Guaranteed on Board" accepted my bag size. So, I have a printed out "Guaranteed on Board" certificate. Does this mean anything to the ticket agent especially if the bag is not the size on the Airtran website?

All the Sherpa bags will fit under the seat. Some airlines even recommend the Sherpa bag brand specifically. The important thing is that the combined weight of the pet and bag does not exceed the maximum (usually 15 pounds). Check with the airline. I've heard of people being refused if their pet is one pound over the limit.
