You will probably have to buy a ticket for each separate airline. Domestic tickets for the dogs run anywhere from $50 (Delta) and up. I have traveled United several times and the charge for domestic animal travel in cabin is $85 each way. I think international travel is more. You can go to each airline's web page and look for the information. |
Thanks. I've gone to their websites already, but it's hard to get any information for the international flights. I guess I will just have to call them and see what they say before I book my ticket.
Here's what United's site says:
Carry-on
Fully weaned dogs or cats at least eight weeks old and domesticated household birds (canaries, finches, parakeets) can travel with you in the cabin if they are small enough to fit and stay comfortably in a kennel under the seat. Tropical birds such as parrots are not allowed. No pets in cabin allowed to Hawaii. (Exception: certified guide dogs)
Fees
The charge for pets that travel with you in the cabin is USD $85.00/CAD $101.00 within the U.S. and between the U.S. and Canada, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas. International rates vary by destination.
The charge for shipping is $100 for small/medium size kennels and $200 for intermediate to extra large for domestic one way travel; international rates vary by destination.

For Lufthansa I believe they charge a 40 euro flat rate for a dog traveling in cabin to the U.S., but it's all so confusing
Here are the links incase anyone cares to take a look at it and see what they understand.
