Dogs and International Flights

Has anyone every taken a dog abroad? If so, are there any airlines that are preferred? Thanks!

I have flown to Europe with my dog twice. The first time was a combination Delta and Malev (Hungarian airline) and the second was with British Air. Delta and Malevn did well and were patient with all of my worries. They let me know when the dog was 'loaded', on each leg of the flight. British Air, however, was phenomenal. They built him a different carrier, walked, watered and fed him in London and he arrived in great shape.<BR>Good luck!

Air France allows smaller dogs in the cabin. Once on a Paris to Los Angeles flight a woman in the row in front of us had her dog on her lap for much of the trip and I didn't even know it until the flight was half over.

Be sure the check about immunization and/or quarantine regulations when you arrive in whatever country - for some countries it is impractical to bring a pet for a vacation and if you are relocating, it may have to be quarantined for a period of time. Each country is very different (as friends found out too late when relocating and they smuggled their cat over a border in the trunk!)
