I called both JetBlue and American Airlines, my dog's weight is within the limits of both airlines, but he is 1 and 2 inches taller than the height limits, can anybody give me some advice on how to bring him with me on board the aircraft. I was thinking that a soft carrier, shoulder straps, with a collapaible plastic support would do the trick for him to fit under the seat, I know he would be OK for the 3.5 hour trip to the RD. Thanks,

You can try shaving him down to the bone and dressing him up in a little jump suit with a pair of shades and a Yankees cap and maybe he will pass for a hood willy lap child .
