Carolyn, The planes may not be big but they are set-up with cargo doors that can accommodate a 500 crate. It's not the size of the aircraft but the configuration. And it looks like Midwest uses similar aircraft.

Me mentioning the change in their ownership is not anything against Frontier. Frontier has always taken dogs excess baggage as do all the other airlines......... except Continental I just used Frontier two weeks ago with some friends and family to get to D.C....( non dog related ) All four junkets on Frontier into D.C. was not exactly a big aircraft.... and that is the issue with any and all of them when it comes to a # 500 crate on connecting flights out of main hubs. Shipping a puppy is really easy compared to an adult required to fly in a # 500. I've beat this horse to death...........sigh.. We've had good experiences with about all the Airlines......but my point is getting to the National .......( WITH dogs ) <G> Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2009.
