Northwest told me that they could only take him if I was a passenger.

I already have my tickets for Continental.

No one else will take him unless I fly with them
Missed this post ...

Those "YOU gotta fly with us too" statements are true
only IF you're trying to fly Boom as "Checked Luggage"
WITH a Passenger ...

But Northwest flies "Live Animal CARGO" just like
Continental does - no Hoomin required!

Again, you have to talk to Northwest CARGO reps -
the normal "passenger" reservation clerks do NOT handle
nor understand Cargo policies or procedures ...
Talk to CARGO reps or supervisors.
