The airlines are pretty cautious about flying live animals as cargo ...
they watch the expected temperatures very closely - too hot or too cold
anywhere on the flight route, and the Critter does NOT get loaded.

Too bad he can't fly in someone's oversized purse - UPstairs in the passenger area.

Thanks for the explaination, I knew the cargo area was "cooler". I figured since they issued a ticket that the airlines had different arrangements when flying in November. At this rate this kitty maybe waiting till springtime to fly to Mo.

I have been using Delta Dash for over 20 years wouldn't trust another type of flight. They have flown my friends tigers and cheetahs, my own monkeys and several birds , along with all my show dogs and my Lexie.

I would trust them with the flight of this girl too. it was this time however based on the fact that the landing/loading area was below temp for her medical issues. The vet gave very strict instructions about the temps he will allow her to fly in. so cross everything that Monday will be her gotcha day!

Just wondering if there was any news on when Jasmine might travel. :D

I just spoke with Tonya last night and Kym did call her Monday night to say that Jasmine arrived safe and sound.

I hope Jasmine is doing okay.
