AKC/Eukanuba National Championship News Release
United Airlines to Increase In-Cabin Limitation for Dogs Traveling to
AKC/Eukanuba National Championship
-- United Continues to Offer Ongoing Discounts on Travel to and from AKC
Events --
NEW YORK, October 16, 2006 - The AKC has negotiated an agreement with United
Airlines to relax restrictions on the number of dogs allowed to fly in-cabin
to facilitate travel to the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, AKC National
Obedience Invitational, AKC Agility Invitational and related dog events.
This special accommodation will be in effect for the period starting November
28, 2006 through December 5, 2006. This applies to all dogs traveling during
this time period, regardless of whether they are competing in these events.
The temporary accommodation will allow two animals in First class, four in
Business and six in Economy, doubling the traditional allowance. Dogs must
still meet the usual in-cabin regulations. The policy applies to all United
Airlines flights system wide but does NOT include United Express or Star
Alliance
partner carriers. Due to government regulation, the capacity limitations for
pets traveling in cargo are not able to be amended.
In accordance with existing agreements between the AKC and United Airlines,
United also offers discounts to anyone traveling to or from an AKC event.
Depending on class of service and how far in advance of the travel date
tickets
are purchased, United offers 2% to 15% off published
fares. Discounts apply only to the passenger ticket, and not to accompanying
dogs.
For information on the requirements for traveling with a pet on a United
Airlines flight, visit

discounts, passengers must call the special toll free number 1-800-521-4041,
and
supply the Meeting ID, 515SP.

The American Kennel Club (AKC), founded in 1884, maintains the
largest registry of purebred dogs in the world. Its rules and regulations
govern more than 16,000 canine competitions each year.
