It's usually word of mouth. We have a flight atendant we use fairly regularly. If she's not available we use Continental airlines. They don't have temperature restrictions, as the pets are handled like counter to counter shipments, not like cargo or baggage. Cost is a tad higher, but worth the peace of mind.[/quote]Originally Posted by Sohni
I do know there are breeders who will not ship unaccompanied and I am told that there are off-duty airline attendants who will carry on cats for a fee. I don't know how to find these people though.....
Perhaps, but my reasoning is, that the cat does not sit out on the tarmac with the cargo and bags, while baggage trucks and jet engines roar away. Personally I'd rather have a cat sit in a relatively quiet space for the extra half hour or even hour, than be subjected to all that commotion and the elements.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
Nial, I asked Jack's breeder about that counter to counter. She personally doesn't like it as she thinks the kitten/cat sits longer at one spot and the other. She's had better service in cargo as they pick them up and put them on the plane faster. Apparently the c-to-c you have to wait while the cargo gets loaded and unloaded first.
Well, that's a good point.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
That's true tooOf course, if they are not too phased at the big planes/engines, etc., then you know nothing will phase them in the show hall
