What airlines?

[artie merlino]

All Fee's are different it depends on the Airline? It also depends on your Destination? Most Airlines will only allow one dog per person and no more than 2 dogs per section or cabin. Some Airlines require a Health Certificate from your Dogs Vet. So ask alot of questions! I have taken a Flight with Artie,
from Orlando to Atlanta, connecting to Sacramento, CA on Delta they were
very Pet Friendly and they charged me & $80.00 3 yrs. ago. So it's probablly
more now a days with the gas prices! Some Airlines don't even allow Pets.
I try to drive every where since I have 3 Yorkie's, I don't think I could Vacation without them? I guess I could I just don't want to!

They flew in the cabin with me and if you dont get a packed flight and have a nice attendant, they might let you take your babies out!

Thanks thats good to know. We fly Northwest alot because they seem to have the cheapest rates. I dont know now if we will take both dogs since its so high. We may take only one or neither. Id lke to talk my husband into both but I dont know if he will pay those fees

I Flew Aa In Feb And It Was $80 Each Way!

It seems like a lot of airlines have just raised their prices for dogs and most are $100 each way now. That's what I paid to go to KC on Midway and I am going to Portland in a few weeks on Alaska and it is $100 each way. I am goin to San Francisco in Oct and we are flying Virgin America and they only charge $50 each way so that's a good deal!

All airlines that accept pets in the cabin are now $100+ each way.

Well, that sucks! You know somepeople will just say that their dog is a therapy dog, and the rest of us will have to use a different airline.

I flew American Airlines, as southwest does not allow dogs. It is 80$ EACH way. So if you are doing round trip it will cost $180. I also heard that AA is not charging something like 25$ just to check ONE bag.

Good luck!

Well I just told my Husband about the $100 fee both ways and he wasnt too shocked.. It is too bad Southwest doesnt allow pets. My Husband also likes them because they dont fee you to death in other areas. He said alot of the other airlines are now charging a fee if you have more than one bag but Southwest doesnt

I few United in May and it was $100 each way. Delta last Christmas was $80 each way but they stated their rates were going up to $100 on a certain date.

I've had the same experience and I NEVER pay for Gracie anymore--and I fly with her every month, cross-country. She is so quiet and no airline person or flight attendant has ever mentioned my having a dog. Also my boarding pass never said I even had a dog even when I used to pay for her---it was on my receipt but never on my boarding pass.

If I had to do it again this is what I'd do. I'd book 2 and tell them I'll pay at the counter instead of over the phone. Then I'd go and see if they even notice. If they do, you have it booked so they won't deny you. Then just pay the money. On the way back do the same thing. Security does not care and neither do the flight attendants. So if you get past the ticket counter you are in the clear.

At least that is how it was for me. I flew from NH to NM.

Chachi...just a heads up. While I was never asked for a health certificate...at the gate to literally board the plane...my carrier was checked for tags which proved I'd paid the fees. Btw, I had the reservation but paid the fee at the check in counter.
