I'd love a link to that crate. We don't have any plastic kennels, except for one very small vari-kennel that I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him in for 8+ hours. We'd probably be flying NWA, as that's what I've flown all my life.

Ahh, you're right. They'll probably put him in cargo.

Here is an additional link that you might find handy: http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Nor...lines/pets.php
