Jet setting with Mr. Henry

November 14th, 2008

A quick reference guide for those of you (like us) who bring the entire pack when traveling.  Sky-high oil prices earlier this year prompted airlines to ratchet up every fee in sight (including, infamously, Frontier’s fee hike for checking antlers.)  These fees are each-way, current as of today and apply for in-cabin travel in the United States:

AirTran: $69

Alaska Airlines: $100

American Airlines: $100

Continental Airlines: $125

Delta Airlines: $150

JetBlue: $100

Northwest Airlines: $80

Southwest: does not allow pets on board

United Airlines: $175

US Airways: $100

Virgin America: $100

In a word: ouch.  Don’t get us started about the fact that our little guy must remain inside his carrier at all times during the flight.  At least he’s in a comfortable, airline-approved portable house, with his pack leaders nearby.
