Hi,
I am getting a dog shipped here. I would fly there but I dont think the plane will let me take a dog up to where you sit. The fligh the breeder planned has a layover andwe wont get the puppy until 11:00 PM and isa 2 hour drive for us from the airport to our house. Is it possible to check online for a different puppy flight? Thanks!

The puppy will go on a normal flight. The breeder should give you the flight number, and you can check that like any other flight.

The only way the puppy can go on board with people is
with you or if you pay extra for the flight.
Maybe you can fly to the puppy,then have puppy on board with you coming back. As long as the
puppy will fit under the seat then it will work. If it's a big
pup/dog,,,, You can call the airlines yourself and get
all the info that you need.... Good luck!!!!!

I just brought a dog from SC to Jersey. I looked into the airlines and they had some restrictions.
The dog had to be over a certain age
The dog had to be vet certified to fly
If the dog was under a certain weight it could fly in
the cabin with me if over it had to be craited as
cargo
The temp had to be above 45 deg. on the ground at
all locations take off, destination and any stops

It was a 13 hour drive and witht he stops it would have been 6 hours by plane and the temps in Jersey were below 45 so I just rented a SUV and made the drive.

I just brought a dog from SC to Jersey a couple weeks ago. The airlines had restrictions.

The dog had to be vet certified for flight
The dog had to be over a certain age
If the dog was under a certain weight it could fly in the
cabin and placed under the seat
If the dog was over a certain size it flew as cargo
If it flew as cargo the ground temps in all stops and
takeoff points had to be above 45 deg.

All above also was based on the size of the airports and what size plane was able to land there.


Sorry for duplicate postings. I received a server error message with the first posting

a lady at work had her kids pick up there pup from AZ, and they carried it on, as carry on luggage.
also if you have the pup shipped, have the breeder give you flight number, time, which airports it is leaving and flying into. also have them contaced you when they have dropped the puppy off. I did all of this when i shipped a pup two weeks ago, make for less stress all the way arround. also aa has a number you can call and it will call you back with flight up dates.

ps when a pup is shipped by it self you have to pick it up at a different location than you would normal luggage, call they airline and they will give you directions

Also as an add to this not sure how ur airline goes, but with mine price is based on crate size , and the animal must have enough room to stand up and turn around comfortably..
