Cat travel via airline?

Have any of you ever sent cats cross-country via airline? If so, what
were your experiences like?

I'm still having no luck at all getting my dispatchers to send me loads
that might move me towards the midwest and the kitten I want so
desperately to rehome. I am now starting to consider other ways I might
be able to get me and the kitten together.

I'm going to make one last plea tomorrow to my dispatcher's boss, in
hopes that he can make suggestions as to how I might be able to get
loads out that way. I refuse to give up my hopes of getting this little
cutie into my truck!

Grace and Dave Yehuda should both know something about shipping an
animal. She shipped a dog to him a year or two ago. You might ping them
if they don't answer this.

Any way you could work out some kind of a relay with other truckers?

IME airlines will allow one pet per cabin and you have to make the
reservation accordingly, they approve the carrier, forget the fee. I've
never used the baggage compartment, and I don't recommend it not using
tranquilizers unless you have a solid endorsement from a vet you trust.

Unfortunately I've met only two or three other truckers I would trust
with an animal I care about, and they all run the I-10 corridor.

I'll do that - thanks! And we're still purring that your travel plans
to Houston work out smoothly.
