I agree and Perry might draw more entries to offset the higher costs,
because just about anywhere you are you can fly into Atlanta with a dog and
large crates and get some half decent flight times and rates being a major
hub..........
If its availabe in 2020 maybe we should book it.....
There are many times I would enter a National but just can't get my dogs
there reasonably. So i don't enter I just fly there to watch.
