Hi all, I need to ask some advice on something I know very little about - flying <I hate it, hate it, hate it!>.. I'm currently in the middle of a 3-week vacation, visiting some friends in Dubuque, Iowa. I will be going home in two weeks, and though I took the train out here from NYC}, I'm thinking of flying back. The 19-hour train ride from NY to Chicago was NOT fun, since I spent most of my time concealing my illegal cargo! Seeing-eye dogs being the only animals this railroad co. allows, period.} I've done a little research, and so far, have flat-out refusals from American, TWA, and UsAir... Northwest and Continental both said I'd have to check my ferret as cargo, which I will *not* do. United said that the ferret would be allowed on board with me, as long as he was kept something smaller than 9x14x22. I have a medium-size Sherpa bag that he travels in, which I think fits those parameters}. The only airline that seems to have no problem with ferrets whatsoever is Delta. I was wondering whether any of you fellow ferret owners could share some of your experiences with me. If I do end up flying, I'll be enough of a mess already, and would feel a little better if I had my baby there with me, giving me one less thing to worry about. <g> Thanks! Jennifer & Dare P.S.-If there are any airlines I've left out, feel free to add! [Posted in FML issue 1860]
