Little Wolf Nala Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm engaged to a lovely Englishman who is not sure he still wants to move to America when we're married, and is now wanting the dog and I to move to the UK with him. I love adventure and would love to live there for a while, but I don't know how I feel about flying my little Noodle over the Atlantic for 9+/- hours. The idea of her being in the luggage area where I can't see her or get to her freaks me out - mainly because there's been a lot of talk about airlines killing pets. Also, I don't want to have to leave her in quarantine for months. Have any of you flown your huskies on long international flights? I just want some reassurance that if I take her to England, she'll get there ok - otherwise I'm gonna have to convince him that America isn't so bad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robke Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 i know those were internal US flights where on most flight sudden delays caused these incidents...that is why I would always book a direct flight and a direct flight only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
