- Details
SEATTLE's Alaska Airlines has joined Portland, Oregon's Banfield Pet Hospital to offer its passengers consultation for pet transport and discount on health certificates required for pets travelling as baggage or in bellyholds.
With 800 pet hospitals in 43 states, Banfield offers Alaska Airline customers a free office visit, travel consultation and a US$10 discount on compulsory health certificates.
Of the 83,000 pets transported through Alaska's system without the alternative choice of road or rail transport, the carrier is flexible allowing small animals in the cabin or as carry-on baggage if the kennel can fit under the seat at $100 each way, said Alaska spokeswoman Marianne Lindsey. Unaccompanied animals are treated as air cargo with rates varying due to distance and pet size.
It requires nut-and-bolt fasteners to hold kennel doors closed during flight in line with its codeshare carriers' American and Delta airlines. It also restricts pet travel if the weather is too hot or cold at destination or origin.
