JAX is an international airport and about 1/2 hour away from the airport. (2) It has a big indoor arena for judging and several outdoor arenas for herding, obedience, etc. Florida in october is The price of airline tickets was outrageous. From chicago you could not get a direct flight into jacksonville...almost all the planes went to Memphis or Atlanta...then you had to take a commuter plane which meant no dogs. The board members from the west coast were going to have to pay about 800.00 per ticket. BUT that was January.... From Chicago the cheapest flight was about $500.00...you could get flights easy on Southwest but they dont take dogs...the only other option to that site was flying into Orlando...which was over 3 hrs away. I just looked at non-stop (American and United thats it) going into Jacksonville from Chicago and nothing has changed all regional jets...no dogs.
