Beginning June 17, Southwest Airlines will allow small cats and dogs to fly in the cabin for $75 one-way. http://southwest.com/travel_center/animals_faq.html http://southwest.com/travel_center/animals.html I suggest a polite letter writing campaign to ask Southwest to include ferrets as an allowable pet (except for flights that originate or land in California). Points to make: * They are smaller than dogs and cats, and can easily travel in carriers that fit under the seat. * They are far less likely to cause allergic reactions in other passengers than dogs or cats. * They do not bark or meow and will not disturb other passengers.
