Return to article: How to Fly a Dog Safely in an Airplane's Cargo Section
on 12/24/2007 Hi K9training. I tried going to the website you listed but it doesn't seem to be working. There's another website for the Dogtravel Company that is live and they are flying with dogs in the cabin of planes. They also have dog friendly trains and vacation packages and lots more stuff in their online store http://www.dogtravelcompany.net
on 7/30/2007 That's great to know, because in the past airlines haven't been very animal friendly. It's good to see that they are making vast improvements and that flying your dog during the summer isn't out of the question.
on 7/30/2007 Continental airlines flys animals all yr round because they provide air conditioned and heated areas as well as provide a human with all crates that come off of the planes until they to their destination. They have made a serious effort and have moved many of my animals around the country with the same safety in mind as they have for people on their planes. Animals that have a hard time are sick or unsocialized or to young to be flown. Socialized , healthy animals do well. Also, the most direct flights are the best. It also helps to call the destination airport and ask them to give the stop over a call to make sure the animal is doing well if there is a change in planes. This airlines has been wonderful to me and my dogs. They have explained it to me that they have a separate cargo area for the animals and that area receives the same air and heat as the cabins above.
