How darned hard is this for everyone to understand? You need the big
Boeing or Air Bus jets to take a 500+. They only fly from hubs/larger
airports. Planes can be downsized at the last minute if the airline wants
ESPECIALLY happens w/ connecting flights when a leg isn't full. Dear God,
every
year the same thing. Caroline your patience is greater than mine! I DO NOT
fly an adult dog. To me, it's just not worth it. The last time I tried, 2x
a flight was canceled due to lightening storms and that was 9+ years ago.
That did it for me. We can ship semen easily now so no more need to ship
a bitch for breeding.
Ey-yi-yi!

us do not have that access.
It is not the size of the aircraft that matters...it is the cargo door.
# 400 crates are typically not a problem anyway.

From: On Behalf Of nhansburgh@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: national sites
1.having flown all over the country with a bitch in a 400 vari kennel size
24 36 27(height) for many years, and never had a single bit of trouble
flying anywhere and flying with a male in a larger kennel 500 which is 30
inches high. this is my experience. it costs more for a male because of the
weight of dog and crate. i have changed planes been in all sizes of aircraft
and flown almost everywhere including canada. which by the way is less
expensive.you forgot to include airwest and air canada in your reports.
bitches cost 200 each way on delta and 50 each way on airwest.
2. sites. what happened to arizona they have many of the best sites i for
dog shows in the country tucson, scottsdale to name two. and the weather is
always wonderful.our dogs look so much better outdoors. Palm Springs is
the best show site in this country. you can fly to ontario which is an
international airport or john wayne or even LAX ontario is only an hour from
palm springs. Sacremento would be fun. They held the sheltie national there
but you would have to find some less expensive accomadations.Palm Springs
hosts the largest dog show in America(4000 dogs) and they are very well set up
for it.
