So you have to drop them off the night before? Is there any way around that? He is huge and hates being caged up. Well, he hates being without me that is. As far the people in Miami, I spoke to the live animal coordinator and she said that they don't have the schedule (this was on dec 31th) for jan! I am really annoyed with her cause she keeps putting me off, time and time again and I still haven't made my flight arrangements. Can I fly him on american and then liat? Will they take such a large animal?
