Actually, it's pretty vague, there is nothing that specifically addresses ferrets, except to say they cannot be flown to a Calif. destination. I'm not in Passinger Service, I work for Maintenance, but IMO lack of a firm policy may leave interperation in the hands (minds) of the individual gate agents. Keep in mind that airline policy can change in a heartbeat, so the fact that ferrets enjoy the same 'small pet' privilege as other animals is no guarantee that it will always be so. In addition to paying the animal ticketing fee, a health ctf., from your state of departure is needed. This is not a letter from your vet, it's a multiple copy form issued by your state, (obtained from your vet) requiring a phone number and street address for your outbound destination. If you're traveling to a show, this would be your hotel. Being seated near a child (someone else's!) can sometimes be a headache, but when traveling with a ferret it can be a blessing! Everyone assumes the sounds or aromas are emitting from the child! Georgia - the left coast one... [Posted in FML issue 3392]
