I want to throw out there that Southwest allows small dogs/cats to fly in cabin and DO NOT fly animals in cargo. They are also much cheaper than the other airlines, $75 each way, so just $150 is the total cost for Rizzo to fly in cabin with me. And to top it off they no longer require a health certificate from your vet, however they will ask to see your pet on the day of travel to ensure you aren't flying with a sick/in pain animal, or an animal that is likely to cause a problem on the flight. Their reasons for this according to the woman on the phone was because they aren't allowed out of their carriers on the plane so there is no need to have a vet certification they are healthy. |
