I pulled this off the Continental website:
In-cabin Pets
Continental allows domesticated cats, dogs, pet rabbits and household birds to be carried in the aircraft cabin on most U.S. flights within the U.S. An in-cabin pet may be carried in lieu of a carry-on bag and is subject to a $95.00 service charge each way ($190.00 for round trip travel). Pets can be booked online or by calling Continental Reservations for assistance.
For travel outside the U.S. with an in-cabin pet, contact Continental Reservations (800.525.0280 in the U.S.) for assistance and information about international in-cabin pet acceptance and service charges.
Pets must be carried in an approved in-cabin kennel. The pet must be able to move comfortably in the kennel (stand up and turn around). The kennel must fit completely under the seat forward of the customer and remain there at all times aboard the aircraft. Maximum hard case kennel dimensions are: 22" L x 14" W x 9" H (56 cm L x 36 cm W x 23 cm H).
In-cabin pet kennels may be available for $55.00. The dimensions are 17" L x 12.5" W x 8" H (43 cm L x 32 cm W x 20 cm H).
In-cabin pet restrictions:
* Only one pet per passenger is allowed in cabin.
* One pet per flight is allowed in the front cabin (select aircraft only).
* Four pets per flight are allowed in the Economy cabin (Continental Airlines, Continental Micronesia and Continental Express flights only).
* One pet per flight is allowed in the Economy cabin (Continental Connection flights only).
* Pets are not permitted in the BusinessFirst cabin of Boeing 757, 767 or 777 aircraft due to inadequate storage space under the seat.
* Customers traveling with an in-cabin pet may not be seated in the bulkhead or an emergency exit row.
* Pets are not permitted on flights to and from Hawaii.
* Pet must remain in the kennel at all times on board the aircraft.
* Customer is responsible to determine and comply with all state entry requirements which may apply.
* Advance arrangements must be made.
* Pets under eight weeks old are not permitted.
* Pet must travel on the same flight as the owner.
* No oxygen will be administered to a pet in the event of an emergency.
I would talk to Continental personally concerning how this baby will be flown, Continental has had 8 deaths and 8 injuries to pets reported 2005-2006. I would have to be positive this pup would not end up in the cargo bay as it
isn't heated or cooled, actually it is a sealed area in case of fire.
