Rodney's Travel Journal
I know Delta will let people have more than one dog at a time as carry-on because I've seen it done. I've personally flown with Piggy I think 3 times now, as carry-on, with no problems. With more than one pig, you'd have to consider whether or not they can share a carrier small enough to fit under the seat. You have to call ahead and make a reservation as they only allow 3 animals per plane, a max of 2 in coach class. American cost is $50 each way.
They've been really good with me flying with him in the cabin, even giving me water during the insane TSA no beverages allowed days. The only thing that annoys me is the charge because I don't perceive how bringing the animal makes the airline incur any additional cost. If it did, I'd have NO PROBLEM paying but it seems as if they charge just to discourage everyone from doing it.
Annette,
I still think this is the cutest little road journal! I wish I had had more time to write a longer response when I first read it. Rodney is a very lucky, and cute, little piggie.

Rodney is such a character. I too loved his little name tag. I'm glad everyone is settling in ok.
More pictures please.

We see and hear of lots of piggies here on GL, but since I saw your video of him running around at your place in Japan and of your dilemma about travelling with him, I have not forgotten him and was really hoping he was going to do well with the trip.
I would have been a total basket case doing that with any of my pets. Probably would have had an ulcer by the time it was done.
I am so glad he made it ok. I hope you aren't planning on going back.

Wow, I just had a chance to read the whole story. That was quite an adventure for you and Rodney. I'm so happy that everyone made here safe and sound. Thanks for taking the time to write all that out. I wonder if Rodney knows how loved he is, cute little guy. Great story!
An amazing story. Rodney has a special place in my heart as we had a Rodney too.
He was very brave and you were awesome in demanding good care, etc. So glad he made it safely and that you finally got some sleep.
I think Rod needs his own Chronicle.
