Looking for some advice

I wouldn't worry to much about putting in cargo (especially if you do it during the summer). I have picked up two cats at Dulles International airport that came over from Bahrain (in the Middle East). They both had a layover in London and had to change planes, but their biggest issue was jet lag and getting used to colder climates.

Especially if it is a direct flight to Calgary you should not have any problems with it.

If we keep working on this I am sure we can figure out a way to get Coda up to Saskatoon.

My other real problem is I have to do this a cheaply as possible. I am up here on a Visitor's Visa (meaning I cannot work). As I am unable to work, I have very limited funds. My man works full time, but is a few years from being out of debt. I'm really hoping to get this done for under $250.00 which I'm sure between my mother and myself we could pull together. My comment on worrying about his safe arrival was pointed toward Operation Roger, which is a great idea, but it states clearly on their website that you cannot hold anyone resposible if the pet is injured or lost during transport.

I think that we can manage this for under $250. Right now we just need to figure out the logistics and then we can investigate price.

Before we go any further, you should find out about whether YOU have to be the person in Calgary or can you have someone else sign for Coda. (I am assuming it is Calgary and not Edmonton that the plane would fly into.)

When I made the calls, before I left Iowa for here, my two departure airports for the cargo planes was Chicago and Omaha both 3 hour+ drives from Ottumwa, the closet landings for those cargo flights were Edmonton and Winnipeg both 8 hour+ drives from Saskatoon. I will have to look into whether it has to be ME that transfers him from that plane or not.
