We have used Frontier a lot with no problems also. Me mentioning the change in their ownership is not anything against Frontier. Frontier has always taken dogs excess baggage as do all the other airlines......... except Continental I just used Frontier two weeks ago with some friends and family to get to D.C....( non dog related ) All four junkets on Frontier into D.C. was not exactly a big aircraft.... and that is the issue with any and all of them when it comes to a # 500 crate on connecting flights out of main hubs. Shipping a puppy is really easy compared to an adult required to fly in a # 500. I've beat this horse to death...........sigh.. We've had good experiences with about all the Airlines......but my point is getting to the National .......( WITH dogs ) <G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Amy Greenhut To: longspeakgs@xxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Show GSD Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 8:29 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Frontier Airlines I had a puppy shipped to me from Colorado with Frontier about three years ago. I do have to say that it was the best experience that I have ever had with shipping a dog. We were a little late getting to the Delta building which Frontier ships to in Detroit because it was storming. We were almost there and they called me on my cell phone and asked if I knew that I had a puppy waiting for me there. They were really nice. They were talking to her the whole time that she was there until we arrived. I was going to get her out of the crate and put her in my van and one of the men picked up the crate that she was in and put it in my van with the puppy still in it...the puppy wagging her tail the whole time. I would certainly use Frontier if the need ever arose the they were available. Amy Greenhut From: "Patty Korsch" <longspeakgs@xxxxxxxxxxx>  Carolyn -  one good thing - Frontier was in bankruptcy - but is out of it - was bought by Republic airlines - but they are combining Frontier and Midwest airliines - under the Frontier name - the good part about this is that Frontier and midwest will take the dogs excess baggage - and are really good with them.  So, actually with them adding the Midwest airline flights there are more flights available.  ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
