I flew with 3 puppies on American from San Diego to Dallas for added baggage, 100.00 per crate, two 9 weeks girls in one crate, 1 little boy in the other and American was great, they let me stay with the pups until right before boarding and then the porter stayed with them until they were loaded and then the flight attendent came to me on the plane and told me they were on board. I don't know about shipping without flying with them, but i was happy with my experience. Pam Msg: #6 in digest From: "Emilie" <windvane@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Frontierl Airlines?? Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 15:53:41 -0800 I flew a dog in a 500 crate home with me from the nationals on frontier air lines, They couldn't have been nicer to me or the dog. Helped me from the curb to the check in. it was 100.00 added baggage. I also have used continental Air lines and never had a problem.
