Things to Remember When Transporting a Dog By Air

If you are in India and love pets more than humans like i do then probably this article makes sense for you

1) Most of the so called good airlines do not have a pet relocation policy namely Kingfisher, Sahara, Deccan etc

2) The only 2 airlines which allow for transfer of pets via air are Jet Airways and Indian Airlines.

3) You need to call up the cargo office for Jet 2 days before the flight so that they can make the arrangements (Since ur pet is going to be a blue whale which needs the cargo hold up area to be empty and also the airline can stop flying people in the cargo)

4) Get a wooden box for the pet as a fiber cage is not appropriate for air travel. This pisses me off the most as the vet suggests a fibre cage but the box as per the airline would become toxic in air - what a Jack Ass - Now i need to search a carpenter to make a wooden box for Chai

5) Ensure that you are carrying the necessary vaccination records for the Dog who knows your puppy named Einstein might get out of the wooden box and bite the whale which the co passenger is transporting

6) The best part is the freight charges - This is how i was told abt it -
For Delhi it would be 76.05 * 2 * (Weight of the Dog or dimensions of the box which ever is larger) + 60 + 12.36 % = I'm still trying to figure out the math behind this.

God Damn this airline seriously. I'm going to find out with Indian Airlines tonight as to whether they give me a better deal.
