Pet Travel – You Still Can Take FIDO
With the airlines adding so many additional costs to traveling these days, it is still possible to take your pet with you-but it is going to cost a little more. Sandy Robin’s article on MSNBC.COM published today-June 25, 2008 explains the basic rates that each airline is charging domestically these days to fly with you pet: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25333275/
She also explains some of the airline ‘perks’ that are offered with mileage programs for pets. The airlines have really fine tuned their policies and procedures for taking pets but you still need to know what to do to prepare your pet for the journey and if you are traveling to an international destination, you must be extra diligent in your pet planning.
It is well worth your money to pay a professional to help you plan your pet’s travel. Did you know that you cannot import a pet directly from the USA to Barbados? Well you can but are you prepared for quarantine expenses when your pet arrives? Did you also know that you need a ‘Commercial EU Pet Certificate’ when sending a pet into Finland-even though it is a family pet and has no commercial value what so ever? You can take your pet to Hawaii now if you prepare properly in advance according to the guidelines set down by the local government of Hawaii. And you can take your pet with you in the cabin of the aircraft if you want…however you will be hard pressed to find an airline that will allow this….The only one that allowed it was ATA and they have ceased service.
So, call a pet travel agent…it is so worth it!
