Ok I was going to wait to book my flight but from time to time I go and check the seats on the plane....well when I went look tonight the price went up $10 each way

So to anyone that is planning on flying its better to book ASAP because the price will go up with the blink of an eye

Have you checked out ExpressJet? www.xjet.com They have service from a few cities to Kansas City. I will be flying home from New Orleans with them. I use xjet all of the time to fly out to California to see scrapindee. (Of course her husband and fur family too!!!)

Hey Kathy you are going to the meet up right?

[~Yorkie~Mommy~]

Quick question is it best to sit in the back of the plane?? I was thinking if Bailey was to start crying it would be more of a distraction if I was sitting in the middle or up front...so I wasthinking about booking a seat in the far back or like last row......Does anyone know what is best for traveling with our lil furbabies?

I would say sit in back.. that way, you can take Bailey out of his carrier without many people noticing

[kathy785]

I usually sit towards the front so it is easier to get onto the plane with the dog carrier. Could also look for rows with more leg room since the carrier will be taking up most of your leg room. If it is a long flight the bathroom placement might be an issue (for you and Bailey).
The flight attendents determine whether dogs can come out of their carriers. Does not matter what part of the plane. Does strike up conversations with people around you, but I love talking about my fur babies!!!

Yep, I was like #3 or 4 to register. Not sure which dog I am bringing with me though. Maybe I can even talk Pam into going too.

The owner was very nice, and she said she'd make sure to have plenty of "Yorkie sizes" stocked up for that weekend in June. She did say she was closed on Sundays, so I presume most of you will want to go on that Friday, as the meet-up will take up most of the day on Saturday.

Thanks for checking it out for us!!! I thought that the Bowtique looked quite nice....... and I suspected the prices to be on the higher end. But it WILL be fun to check it out........ and we have a few months to Save Save Save!!!!

Has there been more registering for the Meetup??? I was curious if we have reached 35 or 40 yet?

I think they just raised prices again because oil is up to a $100 a barrel. If you belong to any frequent flier programs, make sure you're signed up for the email option. I get email almost every week from Northwest and Midwest, and then occasionally from American, Delta & United. Frequently they have discounts or you hear first when they're having a sale.

I would advise joining any frequent flier programs (since they're free) that fly out of your airport, so you know what is going on.

Midwest is an excellent airlines & they fly into KC - sometimes I find they have the best price

Also, if you already have air miles with a carrier also, look at buying your ticket with miles - that might help

I thought that maybe Jakub and I will come a few days early to visit around

Are you kidding?? We are so excited...Layla's Mom, MyFairLacy and I are meeting for dinner today to discuss our travel plans, as we are making the 12 hour drive with 7 furbabies in tow.

I think we may have to rent a uhaul for all our stuff, 3 strollers, 2 x-pens, probably about 4 pet carriers, everyone's luggage, furbabies luggage included!!! We're taking Layla's Mom's SUV, but we are filling up the back with doggie beds so the furbabies will be comfy during the drive so we don't want any luggage in the vehicle.

We aren't leaving till Monday morning, since it's such a long drive and we didn't want to have to leave to early Sunday.

I can't wait!!!
