so we are getting closer to fixing the date for the Atlanta move and it looks like I could be moving as early as the first week in May :yikes !
i'm trying to figure out the best way to bring indy---Delta has assured me that they allow pets as carry-on on transatlantic flights, but the proportions for carriers are very very small as some of you know. the non-stop to atlanta is 8.5 hours and i think that is a long time for indy to be still and quiet and most importantly COMFORTABLE..... would the vets or benedryl help him to rest and sleep for such a long flight??? i wouldn't mind if he could sleep but it's a long long time.
the other 2 options are to fly indy as cargo---delta won't take pets as checked luggage at the moment.
continental would fly him on the same day (possibly the same flight) but it involves a connection in new jersey. it also costs over a thousand euro :yikes :shock: don't know if that will be an option
lufthansa will fly indy to frankfurt to spend the night in their brand new state-of-the-art kennels (very fancy) and then will fly him direct to atlanta the following day.
i'm looking for the option that will involve the least stress for indy as he'll already have a new home and climate to settle into.....
cargo----bigger space or carry-on--tiny space but he's right beside me.
any ideas? please help!!! i'm very nervous about this!!!!
thanks!
