Just about three years ago, my husband and I flew from Juneau, AK to Seattle, WA on Alaska Airlines. While we couldn't take our two fur kids with us on board, they let us check them as baggage, assuring us that the baggage area is just like being in the cabin. Well, our kids came through with flying colors! In fact, they seemed to travel better than I do, at least on the airplane. We made the return trip at the end of June, Seattle to Juneau on Alaska Airlines. Again, all ferrets had to fly in the cargo hold, it was a nonstop flight. We went with seven ferrets in four carriers at $50 per carrier. All ferrets came through with flying colors, and everyone at the Seattle ticket counter was really nice about everything. I highly recommend flying Alaska Airlines with your ferrets in cargo. Melanee Ellis Juneau, Alaska [Posted in FML issue 2112]
