Westjet is pet friendly, they have to fit under the seat in their carrier.

They say cat, dog, bird, or rabbit only.

Yes a small Stinky Cat, stinky Dog, Stinky Rabbit, or bird ONLY, but NOT a Silent, non-smelling, bag with fish
I tried before

Draw some wiskers on the bag, and some pointy ears and put it in a cat bag. :)

When I came back from Kelowna last month I had three bags of livestock. I packed them in my carry-on and brought them on the plane with me. What they didn't know didn't hurt them!!

When I came back from Toronto via Air Canada in Oct I brought a 1' X 1' x 1' box with 4 corals in it, carried it on, even refused to let them xray it but opened the box for them. They were so amazed by the corals it became more of a topic of discussion than a problem with it being carry on. When a friend of mine came home from Edmonton he brought a box approximatly the same dimentions back on West Jet with no trouble either. Maybe I just got lucky.

I've never had a problem but then I'm not dragging the stuff out for show either. I have a large shoulder bag that I put most of my stuff in with a jacket on top (except for that trip to calgary in which I bought a ridiculous amount of stuff and had to use my carry on luggage as well :razz: ). Surprisingly half the time I've been through airport security they haven't even gone through my bag, everything just goes through the scanner and pops out the other side.

I don't think they're worried about the smell as much as the fact that if the bag leaks your fish water can rust out the plane :wink:

Just wait until I bring a bag of salt with me, and dump it down the airline toilet then! :)
