I only fly a uppy non-stop and I love Continental. They have a counter to counter service for puppies; they are always in a/c so no temperature restrictions. You will have to call and see which airport out of TX has non-stops to an airport near your daughter.

So far we are hearing Continental and Pet Flight to use to ship the puppy. What are your recommendations for which airlines to use? and do they fly direct?
