Its not too early to start making airline reservations to the National....From LAX the cheapest non-stop is on US Airways...$328. round trip...and I believe the dog is $100 each way....From SFO US Airways, the fare is also $328 non-stop round trip...From San Diego there is no nonstop flight...American Airlines has one stop...the cost is $282.00...don't know what they charge for dogs......of course there are cheaper ways to fly but this is only if you are not flying with a dog.....even If I had a dog to show...I don't think I will ever fly a dog on a flight that is not non-stop...but then again, when I was twenty I said I wouldn't ever get married..lol...FB ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
