Re: Taking a dog as excess baggage
Hi
We are taking our dog over to the US in 4 weeks. We are going with Virgin who actually seemed not only the best price, but also seemed to provide the most info on how to transport the dog etc. She is going in a airline approved dog carrier within the hold. Like others have pointed out, only US airlines will consider animals going in the cabin adn its dependant on size. We have a retriever so no chance of her getting under the seat!!!!
Didnt like BA, love flying with them, but over the phone they didnt seem to "care" as much as virgin about transporting the dog and how anxious we are about it.
Good luck though

Re: Taking a dog as excess baggage
There are Federal regs concerning the transport of animals in the USA.
The first question is where are you going to and when? The ground temperature is the controlling on factor (along with the breed as snub nosed are subjected to more rigorous rules) on if your animal can even travel by air on certain dates.
As your ultimate destination is the US you may find the following link helpful.

Hi McDavis,
This site (for British Airways World Cargo) says dogs are not allowed as excess baggage:
