I see that two of our good airlines for flying dogs ( Delta & Northwest
) are merging and
will now become ONE airline. According to the news.... this means
less flights and that
means flights will be completely jammed full ......including
Cargo......and the prices will
also rise. It's inevitable as the airlines struggle to stay
afloat.
This makes flying our dogs just a tad more difficult again. Won't
affect us too much on
the level of just showing our dogs to their Championship.....but makes
it more difficult to
get to our Futurities and Nationals.

When I checked into flying a dog in a 500 crate to the Texas national,
Northwest wanted $300 each way. Delta charges $150 each way. Of
course, Delta only flies MD80's into that airport so they can't take a
500 crate anyway. But, at $600 round trip for my dog to fly in a box in
the cargo hold, I don't consider Northwest a "good airline" for flying
dogs.
I am driving to Texas for the national as it was just too difficult
(and too expensive) to fly with dogs.
