pet flights

If you're thinking of moving or traveling with your pets to Germany, Continental Airlines just announced their new non-stop flights frmo Houston to Frankfurt.  As a result, we're now able to offer pet-friendly bookings on both Lufthansa and Continental going direct to Frankfurt.  It's not too late for some Oktoberfest!

We received word today that Continental Airlines will now be offering pet flights in and out of two more cities. Dayton, Ohio (DAY) has reopened to animals (in and out) effective August 1, 2009.  

Additionally, St. Maarten, Netherlands Antilles (SXM) is now available for import and export animals, effective immediately

We've been receiving many request for pet flights to St. Maarten lately, so we're happy to now have a pet friendly airline to send pets on to that destination!

We came across this great slideshow of Continental's PetSafe program today.  It shows photos taken "behind-the-scenes" by USA Today photographer Dave Einsel at Continental's cargo office in Houston.  Click here or on the photo below to check it out!

Question: Hi there,

I plan to travel with my 1.5 year old Bichon from Toronto to Taiwan. I've had all the paper work and Rabie Titer test done. The only thing I'm concerned is the flight is very long (about 5 hours from Toronto to Vancouver, and 13 hours from Vancouver to Taipei), how can a little fur friend take it a long flight hour in the cargo? Would it be a huge trauma for him?

Answer: Hello Christine!
