Aloha Jin,
PJ, aka Pam Jonsey has shipped two dogs recently from Texas! Unfortunately her access to the forum currently is off the air due to moving. She will check in at the internet cafe and hopefully will share her experience.
Carrie and Tony are in the process and have recently done all the paper work required, Fed X'd it to the Honolulu AG Department ahead of time, called to confirm it was received and all in order. They have an open house this weekend, but I'm sure when that is over knowing Carrie she would be happy to answer any questions also.
One glitch I've notices is that the health certificate the Ag Department requires, is also required by the airlines. However the time frames are different. I think but haven't confirmed recently that the Ad Dept is 10 days and the airlines are 7 days.
We are stuck on the mainland due to our domestic Bengal cats being delisted after being allowed for over 10 years. So we are working on other issues right now.
That being said I have read over and over, it is harder on the staff than on the pets. I do hope this is true! I can have a scotch to smooth the edges while flying over.
Oh different airlines have different requirements as you can guess. We can't fly out of Sacramento, June thru September due to the heat. Have heard favorable comments about United in particular, Continental, and Hawaiian Air.
Deep breath and go for it!
Aloha, Mella
