How do big dogs fly in a plane?

Q. I have a siberian husky that is really furry doesn't like the heat but will tolerate it when she has to (with proper hydration). Shes 60lbs and travels a lot in the car but I wonder about a plane.
I need to know if its possible to fly with a dog like mine. It would be for about a hour and half. No stops. During the cool of the day.

How can I make this happen? Does anyone have experience with this? Looking for some pointers.

Answer
Kenneled in the cargo area of the plane. You will need an airline-approved dog crate, you can buy it at Petsmart, Petco, ETC. You also have to keep food & water in said kennel.

Can anyone recommend some good dog crates?

They need to be reasonable price, and comfortable enough.

My dog is a one year old Maltese.
Where can I get the crates, and how much would they cost at an average?
Even better, I'm kind of cheap, so anywhere that they sell them for a really cheap price, please tell me.

I need one just to 'crate-train' her.
Thanks!

Answer
Pets Mart and PetCo both sell metal crates that are sturdy and durable, which I reccomend because they are easy to clean and collapse for travel. The size needed for your Maltese would run about $30.00 to $50.00, but you'd only have to buy one. You can get blankets and cushions to put in the bottom of them to make them comfy and clip water bottles to the side. I'd recommend the metal ones over the plastic carriers and fabric covered ones. They are much easier to clean if your dog has an accident. Good Luck.
