Flying with pigs

- You can quote me
"We had an adopter say she flew her pig from NC to CA on Delta. They allowed her to carry the pig in a carrier onboard with them."
To the best of my knowledge, Delta is the only major carrier left that will allow them onboard, in the cabin. If America West will do it too, that's good news.
Delta's rules are 1) FAA-approved carrier; 2) two to a carrier; 3) must fit under seat in front of you; 4) flat $75 fee. You have to take them out to walk through the x-ray machine.
For more details email Godotgonzales on this forum.
The problem with the heated and pressurized cargo area is that it's pitch dark and they are subject to extreme bumping and vibration that you're somewhat insulated from in the cabin. Plus they can get lost, just like your luggage.

Here I am revisiting this issue yet again. The 5 feet of snow in the mountains of California is freaking me out.
I'm looking at this place as a possibility for shipping my animals. They claim to specialize in exotic animals. Has anybody ever heard of them? I'm so, so nervous about this. I'll never forgive myself if something happens to them. I'm moving three cats too.

That's how the small animals usually arrive in pet stores, packed tight in cardboard and styrofoam.

Ugh! Well, I'm certainly going to be asking them a lot of questions when I talk to them on the phone...
This company is a member of the BBB, which is good, I think...
How do people get their animals to other countries when the move? Surely there's a good shipping place somewhere...?

Yes, I think there's probably a safe way to go, but Zac pointed out to me last night that we'd be in trouble should we get broken down or some such. I already knew that, but it's getting scary since this move is becoming more real.
What would you suggest taking along in terms of supplies in case of an emergency such as breaking down in the middle of winter in the snow?
