Can the carrier be taken on a plane?

Some carriers are sized for under-seat travel, but airline limits differ. Comparing the carrier dimensions with the airline's rules is the best check.

Does the frame fold separately from the carrier?

Most frames fold flat on their own once the carrier is removed, which makes storing both pieces easier.
