anyone else, dont need a reply. she is coming via ground transport. the time in the crate since the airlines what them there 3 hours ahead of time plus travel etc would be the same. thanks in advance anyway. i guess great danes dont fly to their national? i asked the airline how do they ship if they wont fit in a 700 crate? they said they have to have custom crates or they have extenders that fit between the top and the bottom of the vari kennels. this is a major airport though and there was only 1 flight in dec that could take a 700. the connecting flights with a 500 couldnt take more than a 400. susan Sander-Haus German Shepherd Dogs www.Sander-Haus.com Members of GSDCA & GSDCA-WDA.
