Well not exactly. Speaking as one that flies with dogs frequently to get to shows, you have to do what you have to do to get there. When I flew to the Garden, I found a direct flight on United that flew from SFO to Newark New Jersey (then took a private supershuttle from NJ to Manhattan). the flight was $338 round trip. Dog was $200. This year Im flying down to Long Beach for Great Western. My flight 118$ Round trip (150 per dog one way) rental car 22$ a da. I dont think it makes it any harder. Maybe more expensive, but if you wan't play, you got to ge there. Frankly, I love driving. I have driven to shows in CO, SD, ND, and even one in Bham, AL, but I have to stop and think of "pro-rated expenses"... With gas at $4 a gallon, I think my clients would have a slight problem with their portion being $750.00 per dog.
