Keyfit Base on Airplane

I am taking baby on flight tomorrow and am confused as to whether or not I can use the base on the airplane. I just read a post about a mom taking her Keyfit on without the base. Why wouldn't you want to use it?
Please help me understand! This is my first flight with a carseat.

Thanks!

It doesn't work with the base in an airplane since the airplane seat belt buckle is in the middle of the belt. It sits on top of the belt path and blocks the carrier from clicking into the base.

It is very easy to install the keyfit on the plane (and in the vehicle at your destination) with just the seatbelt. We don't take the base at all when we travel.
