What airlines still accept 700 series crates as cargo?
Were moving to Hawaii from the East Coast in a few months and have everything taken care of except flying our 70lb lab. With all the calculations she requires a 700 series crate, which almost no airline within a 5 hour drive of us accepts. Does anybody know of any that will allow her to fly?
You've just said 'almost no airline' accepts this. That means that there's at least one airline that will accept the crate.
Or have I misunderstood?
EDIT to add: Why has Rona Lachat's very full and informative answer not posted?
See if you can find a specific animal cargo company--they exist to fly show animals and pets all over.
Contact companies like air pets
Call the airline you plan to use and talk to a human. If that does not work then go in person to the airport from which you plan to depart and ask to speak with a cargo supervisor for the airline.
Also, Hawaii restricts entry by pets. Work with your Vet to see if you can reduce the 30 day quarantine period
Hi there! I am having the same trouble with my 72lb golden retriever. Did you figure out how to get your lab there? TIA!
- Boeing 737 Baggage/Cargo Loading Sheet? I need a B737 (400+ series) loading sheet for baggage. Not the pilots sheet but the one that ramp agent leads use. I forget to photocopy some while working at the airport recently with Swissport.
- Will Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 or Bombardier C series halt Airplane production in near future? Due to Pilot shortage and electric airplanes Will regional airlines go out of business Are small airlines doomed due to pilot shortage so what are they doing to solve
- Why they don't convert the A380 into big cargo planes? A380 is no longer in production and airlines are beginning to get ride of them, some were already scrapped. Wound't it make an good giant freighter? Why not?
- How does putting a pet in airline cargo work, what's it like to do that? In a couple months I will be shipping my cat through cargo on an airplane. So what's that like, what should I expect? Will they treat her like a checked bag? Should I put a lock on her kennel? Should I attach food and water bowls? I want to, but won't they spill? Anyone have experience with doing this? How'd your pet hold up? How does it work, how do you get them back?
