Flying Large Dogs

[mella l]

Ayut, well are we talking carriers as in crate for animals or are we talking carrier as in an airline?

For pet carriers/crates, the rules as I understand them, the animal must be able stand up and turn around. So the animal crate needs to be large enough to allow this movement. AS our animals are smaller, I do not know what the weight limits are in the largest crates, but will google it and see what I can find.

For airline carriers, I know that animals fly as additional freight, like extra baggage and fly $ per pound for additional fare.

Each airline has different rules for the charge of additional baggage. Also each airline has different rules, ie time of day, time of year, number of pets per flight.

So if you are flying out of San Diego, you would need to check which flights go to Honolulu as all animals, at this time must fly thru Honolulu quarantine.

You however could fly direct to Hilo, have a
Jackie and Winston Kupau, 808-488-3854 meet the Hilo flight, and transfer your animals onto the Hilo leg of the flight. This is highly recommended as just finding the Quarantine Department at the airport takes on military proportions. The Kapau's are well versed in getting to the airport, picking up the animals at quarantine for their final health check, and getting them onto their connecting flight.

Need an additional language lesson here on Mainerisms, not a quick study here Mr. Wintah.

I Love Rucy, and one day hope to meet MZ. Retardo and Madam Ethel!

All our best to you and Mz. PeggyAnn.
