Ours flew to LHR via Newark with Continental and were well looked after. We used a company called petcarrier.com, a lady called Janice arranged everything, very efficient.
Top tips - Use the Nellis Vets to sort paperwork, saves a fortune! You will still need all that LOA though, well would have done before all the cuts! (cost us close to $3k in the end)
Good luck
Ron, cheers for that.
This is exactly what we have decided to do. VA and BA were massively expensive, think Virgin quoted £2000, and because you cant fly from McCarran with them i'd have to drive to LAX as well.
Mrs. Billy spoke to a company the other day called PBS, and for Chip to fly Continental from here via Houston, its gonna be about $1400 all in. Luckily we saw this coming and got all the paperwork and rabies stuff sorted a few months ago.
Just got to get it booked in the next week or so, and then concentrate on getting the house packed.
Once again, thanks alot
Billy
