Alright, this has turned out to be quite difficult. I will be on island before my dog can enter the state. Consequently, she will need to arrive as "cargo". For those who haven't had the pleasure, there is no distinction between a dog arriving as "cargo" and a dog arriving as checked baggage: they are both on the same airplane. However, if you are not traveling with the pet, they go as cargo.
I want to fly my dog direct from Los Angeles or San Diego to Kona, but have run into some logistical problems:
1. United states that do not fly pets to Kona as cargo.
2. Alaska claims not to fly pets to Kona as cargo.
3. Delta does fly pets to Kona as cargo, but will not take reservations until 14 days prior to departure (Hawaii Ag paperwork requires a flight number).
What am I missing here?
