This is good info for anyone thinking about flying their pets. |
We talked about this topic again over dinner and he also said there were extreme temperature changes in cargo. He has opened the cargo door before and the heat would hit you like a furnace, quite a change from the cold at 35,000 ft to the heat generated on the ground.
