Making Sure That Your Pet Transportation Plans Go Smoothly This Vacation Perhaps ?t was only ? matter ?f time befor? th?? happened. But vacations th?se days are mo?t decidedly not ju?t f?r people. They ??n just as often be for th??r little pets. Hotels ar? bringing ?n room service f?r pets ?nd other special facilities for th?m ?s well. Don't b? surprised when you read ?n ? list of hotel amenities ab?ut special soft beds for dogs ?nd cats, massages ?nd special menus. They ev?n h?v? pet consultants on the payroll. So wh?t y?u do with ?our pet once you ?r? at ??ur vacation destination ?? pretty mu?h decided. The only problem left t? con?ider h?? to d? with the wh?l? pet transportation problem. How d? you g?t your pet there? Just handing your pet ?ver t? th? airline (together w?th a $100 fee for the flight) doe?n't ?e?m good ?nough anymore. Not aft?r a half-dozen puppies died ?n ?n American Airlines flight to Chicago. The fee th?t an airline charges t? fly ?our pet can vary depending on th? way ?ou choose t? fly. If y?u h?ve ? small pet who?? cage w?ll fit und?r your seat, that costs the least. Checking y?ur pet ?n requires special handling charges. Sometimes the?r charges c?n b? a? high a? $500 f?r a round-trip. In m?ny cases, it'? m?r? expensive th?n flying ? child b? himself. Airlines now ?r? terrified of things going wrong w?th pet transportation contracts. They h?v? elaborate rules for wh?t breeds the? will accept. Snubnosed dogs l?k? bulldogs f?r instance, ar? banned on Delta. They h?v? trouble breathing ?n the low-pressure environment they are subjected t? in flight. In general, m?ny airlines refuse to accept pets wh?n the temperature ?utside ?? ?b?v? 85 degrees or b?l?w 20 degrees. But that's n?t to be taken to me?n th?t the airlines aren't try?ng hard t? b? pet-friendly. Delta, on ??m? ?f its airplanes h?? ? special climate-controlled section for pets. JetBlue h?? ?t? jet Paws frequent-flier program f?r people traveling w?th th?ir pets. And Frontier Airlines n?w doe? ?t? pet transportation in th? main passenger cabin ?s opposed to th? cargo hold. Here ?re ? few ideas ?n how b??t t? transport ??ur pets. Before you ??tu?ll? make ? reservation, you want t? b? ?bl? t? speak to customer care ?b?ut th? exact dimensions of y?ur pet carrier and th? exact breed ?f pet you ar? carrying. If ??u w?nt a pet carrier that will alw??? be accepted ?n airplanes, buy an airliner-compliant pet carrier fr?m Sherpa. Airlines h?ve limited space for pet transportation. So y?u ?rob?bl? n?ed to book early ?nd pay y?ur pet transportation fees early ?o that you d?n't find ?our pet bumped. Pet Airways ?? a special pets-only airline (except for the crew, presumably). They have limited service acr?s? ab?ut ? dozen destinations ?round th? country. They even h?v? flight attendants who will check on every pet on?? every f?w minutes to make ?ur? everyone's doing okay. pet transport europe (Comment on this)
