plenty of time, if your worried tell them to fill the bag with oxygen

As long as they put oxygen in the bag you should be fine, mine do. I had some errands to run and asked how long I had before they needed put in the tank and was told one to one and a half hours.

Drove home from both Dallas and Austin with fish - 2.5 hours and just over an hour- No problems whatsoever.

lol 20min? yea that's fine the fish have barely even been in the bag....i went to an auction and got fish that ended up being in a bag for about 14hours, most of them were perfectly fine (did lose a big venustus i bought though)

What LPS does'nt put O2 into bags?
O2 in bags usually last about 2-3 hours..............

Every one I've been to has. But I've never been to one in Canada. I hear folks are different up there, and they like to say "Ehh".
