Chin's shipping

[imlovint]

I moved to New York three weeks ago, my chin is still in California bay area with my boyfriend.
The bay area is so cool in summer, but I still want to move my chin with me b/c my bf doesn't play with her. And he may live CA in Sept, too. NY is much more hotter than there.
Does anyone have suggestions? I have asked Continental, they said they can do the night fly. My bf will come to visit me on August 15, is there any flight can bring chin into the cabin? I am really worried about the flight during summer.

Some airlines will let you take chins as a carry on pet. I wouldn't ship at all during the summer. To ship when it's cool I've always like to make sure it would be 70 or below the entire day that I ship through that city. So if it goes from one state, stops in one on the way, then to another... all the way through because the chin will come off and be transported to another plane, possibly set down somewhere it shouldn't be etc.

I have checked many airlines website e.g. delta, virgin, they all said only dog and cat, some allowed birds- -... Can you tell me which airline allow chin as carry on? The continental is overnight, and non-stop. I don't if I can do that.

The last I checked, no airline will allow any rodent into the cabin. You'll have to check each one separately in terms of the animal cargo portion.

Chins cannot go in the cabin anymore.

Continental is your best bet for shipping. They no longer have layovers at all. You drop the chin off, they load it up, and do a straight through flight. The chins don't sit on a hot tarmac anymore or in a warehouse, waiting for the next leg of the flight. They never leave the air conditioned part of the plane reserved for animals. I was going to ship a chin to Virginia and the entire thing from start to finish was going to take under 8 hours. Unless that's changed in the last 8 or 9 months that is.

Call Continental and get the particulars. There is also now a shipping service in the US dedicated to animals only who do day trips as well.

Thanks so much. Continental is the one I want to work with.
