Well the Army is sending me to Europe and being owned by ferrets has it's
problems.
The Military will only ship dogs and cats. So I have booked a civilian
flight, but am now fighting for the ferrets rights!
Here is the skinny on 6 Major US airlines and their policies.
American - Ferrets not allowed.. only as freight
Continental - Ferrets not allowed.. only as freight
US Air - Ferrets allowed on domestic flights in cabin or as luggage with
excess baggage fee. NO ferrets on international flights.. allowed only as
freight
Northwest - Ferrets allowed on all flights if turned in with luggage, not
allowed in cabin. $90 excess baggage fee for each cage. Permission from
destination government and health certificates needed.
Delta - Ferrets allowed on all fights in cabin or as luggage $90 excess
baggage fee for each cage. Permission from destination government and
health certificates needed.
United - Ferrets allowed on all flights in cabin or as luggage with $100
excess baggage fee for each cage, and if the animals don't fight they can
share cages. Permission from destination government and health certificates
needed.
My problem is the flight I need to take is US Air out of Philadelphia. I
have been calling the corporate headquarters and am trying to get to a
decision maker to get the policy changed on internation flights or atleast
an exception for my fuzzies.
I will keep you all abreast of how US Air handles it.
