Answer 1

you will have to call around - most won't carry any dogs in cargo in this heat. there is one that has ac in the cargo. you have to have airline approved crates & health certs done a certain amount of time before flying



you can't take pets on trains - neither do greyhounds of course.



there is really only one way & that is to drive it yourself

Answer 2

I vividly recall reading something about this. There was a table of various airlines and the rates of pet injuries and deaths. I'm trying my best to remember where I saw it. I think it was in Reader's Digest. I'm looking for my copy right now. The internet won't give me anything. But I did find a helpful site. I'm going to keep looking for that copy of Reader's Digest, but this site should help you for now. If I don't get back to you, then I've probably lost my Reader's Digest. If I did, I apologize in advance and wish you good luck and a safe flight for you and your dogs.

Answer 3

It's very likley this time of year there is a heat embargo on. Even an early morning flight, this last week or so I wouldn't have risked flying a puppy.

You might be better off to rent a car and do the drive.

Answer 4

I've always used Delta. There may be restrictions this time of year though due to high heat so check first to make sure you won't have a problem. If you are flying with them, that may make a difference and your Chihuahua can go in a carrier right under your seat.

Answer 5

To Kyani and to the original poster,

The name of the site that gives access directly to different airlines pet sites and also incidences, is Petflight.com.

It's a good site for this information.



Hope this helps.
