Air and Pets

Do you have to by air in the near future? If you do, are you a pet owner who needs to bring your pet along with you? Although most of us leave our pets at home, you may not want to do so or your purpose for may be to move, as opposed to taking a fun filled vacation. Regardless of your reasons for wanting or needing to with your pet or pets, there are a number of important points that you will need to keep in mind.

The first step in traveling with a pet is to make sure that you can do so. Although a good number of airlines will allow pets on their planes, not all will. You may be in a predicament if you plan to depart from a small airport with only one or two airlines. If they do not accept pets or if their rules and restrictions are too much for you to handle, you will want to examine other nearby airports, especially those that are larger in size.

When traveling by air with your pet or pets, it is important to remember that you will be charged an additional fee. Unfortunately, many first time pet travelers believe that they can use their pets and their pet carriers to count towards as a carry-on bag or a checked bag. This isn’t how it works though. You will, almost always, be charged an extra fee for traveling with a pet. This extra fee will likely depend on the airline in question and well as your pet’s location, such as in the cabin or in the baggage compartment.

That leads to another important point. Even with some of the airlines that allow pets, like cats and dogs, aboard their flights, not all allow pets to be in the cabin with other passengers. This is particularly common on small planes where allergies may be a big concern. If you cannot part with your pet, be sure to search for an airline that will allow you to keep him or her in the cabin with you. With that said, remember that the size of your pet will also play a huge factor in your options.

Regardless of where your pet is stored for

Seattle's secret is out: Lake Chelan, Washington
If you live in Seattle or Spokane, Lake Chelan is your summer go-to spot. Best of all, few Californians know of it. But that's about to change.<br/><br/>CHELAN, Wash. &mdash; Just say the words "summer at the lake" in certain company, and you'll get a wistful smile, possibly followed by stories about fishing contests, belly-flops, mosquito bites, campfire songs, sexual awakening, lingering regret, family feuds, winterizing expenses and the prospect that the mortgage interest tax deductions for second homes might someday be disallowed. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gXHrIfGB0eC6IzyvO_dhAKu_Bos/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gXHrIfGB0eC6IzyvO_dhAKu_Bos/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gXHrIfGB0eC6IzyvO_dhAKu_Bos/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/gXHrIfGB0eC6IzyvO_dhAKu_Bos/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/qXzzVQ8HEOI" height="1" width="1"/>
Weekend Escape: The small-town charms of Arroyo Grande
The Central Coast town features Doc Burnstein's Ice Cream Lab, Gather Wine Bar, Santa Manuela Schoolhouse and a swinging bridge.<br/><br/>The sleepy Central Coast town of Arroyo Grande, population 17,000, is the ideal place to shut out the mayhem of city life for a few days. There's not much to do except relax, drink wine, read your book and take sunset strolls. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cLPGYgSA1Af0dIGDt9jgnELq6H4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cLPGYgSA1Af0dIGDt9jgnELq6H4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cLPGYgSA1Af0dIGDt9jgnELq6H4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/cLPGYgSA1Af0dIGDt9jgnELq6H4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/ZQMqrCYRNRk" height="1" width="1"/>
A taste of India's street food
A visitor and his guide in Delhi ignore the tourist's taboo against street food to snack on dosa, uttapam and KFC's Zing Kong Box. It's all quite delectable.<br/><br/>DELHI, INDIA &mdash; Delhi, India, is closed today. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/lWnFT3z69eNura9jkQ9egwT7rEw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/lWnFT3z69eNura9jkQ9egwT7rEw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/lWnFT3z69eNura9jkQ9egwT7rEw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/lWnFT3z69eNura9jkQ9egwT7rEw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/mVcySeTnyAM" height="1" width="1"/>
75th birthday celebration for the Golden Gate Bridge
For starters, the famous orange-painted span finally has a visitors center. Then there's a gala in San Francisco next weekend with exhibits, films and more.<br/><br/>As its 75th birthday fast approaches, the Golden Gate Bridge is getting a little birthday present. Even though about 40 million vehicles cross it each year and visitors come in droves daily to admire and photograph it, the spectacular span has never had a visitor center. That is, until this month. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m1Q_Sfll5PtvhTX6L7QADNEvqpI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m1Q_Sfll5PtvhTX6L7QADNEvqpI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m1Q_Sfll5PtvhTX6L7QADNEvqpI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/m1Q_Sfll5PtvhTX6L7QADNEvqpI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/TNmI5nqL0CU" height="1" width="1"/>
Portland, Ore., is a smaller, cleaner, wetter alternative to L.A.
Pacific Pie Co., Oblation print shop and the Pearl District are part of the town's charms. Hotel Modera has original art and an upscale restaurant, Nel Centro.<br/><br/>The Portland Hop. I know, it sounds like a dance craze in 1937. But really, it's what you do when Southern California gets you down and you need to drink small-batch beer, eat Northwestern locavore meals and see bike commuters in the rain. My wife, daughter and I hit Portland, Ore., for a few days last August. Here's the report. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qDKCx9KnNrGXlJ8hW5ogaO8Uf3o/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qDKCx9KnNrGXlJ8hW5ogaO8Uf3o/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qDKCx9KnNrGXlJ8hW5ogaO8Uf3o/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/qDKCx9KnNrGXlJ8hW5ogaO8Uf3o/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/dmGhtC-i4tU" height="1" width="1"/>
Old California and good grub in San Juan Capistrano
The Orange County town boasts a famous mission and the returning swallows (sometimes). It also has great restaurants, a heritage museum and more.<br/><br/>What an appealing slice-of-life California town, an easy day trip by car or train. Come for the history, stay for the food. This restaurant-intensive ranch town is the oldest community in Orange County. If San Juan Capistrano &mdash; or SJC &mdash; had a dating profile it would say: "Self-deprecating, authentic, still likes a good time." <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/WxF5mAD_HJWkwZXRjqUd9dAwlKA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/WxF5mAD_HJWkwZXRjqUd9dAwlKA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/WxF5mAD_HJWkwZXRjqUd9dAwlKA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/WxF5mAD_HJWkwZXRjqUd9dAwlKA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/KmpR0ITa1Do" height="1" width="1"/>
MachineGunsVegas, Guns & Ammo Garage: Pull the trigger on a trip
Las Vegas indoor gun ranges MachineGunsVegas and Guns & Ammo Garage are fun but can be pricey. Consider a cheap but pleasant stay at the Plaza.<br/><br/>Two new Las Vegas venues invite guests to &mdash; quite literally &mdash; have a blast. Letting loose with high-powered firearms may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but my visits to two indoor gun ranges suggested just how popular they are with tourists. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/aqAAESm8-WNTem949zj0GIzBcJc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/aqAAESm8-WNTem949zj0GIzBcJc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/aqAAESm8-WNTem949zj0GIzBcJc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/aqAAESm8-WNTem949zj0GIzBcJc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/jio4tfMrwOw" height="1" width="1"/>
Wining and dining on the Ventura coast
Old Creek Ranch Winery has a tasting room and patio, and Anacapa Brewing Co. is worth a visit. Serra Cross Park offers tranquil views of the Channel Islands. <br/><br/>Ask a Venturan and he or she will tell you that the city is both the end of Southern California and the beginning of the central part of the state. With a gorgeous coastline, an affinity for agriculture, a happening night life and a healthy enthusiasm for all things vino, this duality isn't just a clever marketing campaign &mdash; it's the real deal. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/RJ0Kjsm-NkwiyXizSU5VCDjyAtY/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/RJ0Kjsm-NkwiyXizSU5VCDjyAtY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/RJ0Kjsm-NkwiyXizSU5VCDjyAtY/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/RJ0Kjsm-NkwiyXizSU5VCDjyAtY/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/ySHGvqt8t-0" height="1" width="1"/>
Tour luxurious Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage
The 200-acre Annenberg estate, now open to the public, has hosted political and Hollywood power players.<br/><br/>Sunnylands, the 200-acre Annenberg estate in Rancho Mirage that hosted five decades of political and Hollywood luminaries behind its pink walls, opened to the public for the first time in March. Consider this 20,000-square-foot dwelling, set in a far-as-the-eye-can-see expanse of golf course green, as a latter-day incarnation of the Gilded Age mansions of Newport, R.I. Inside the house, digital reproductions of the Annenbergs' $1-billion-plus Impressionist art collection compete for space on the few walls not made of glass. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xDZ2EeMB-bGK6Jg7Pz2xd_v-aSw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xDZ2EeMB-bGK6Jg7Pz2xd_v-aSw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xDZ2EeMB-bGK6Jg7Pz2xd_v-aSw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/xDZ2EeMB-bGK6Jg7Pz2xd_v-aSw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/a0BNgSHYxHI" height="1" width="1"/>
In San Francisco's Mission District, touring Clarion Alley murals
Take one of the mural tours or see them on your own. The Inn, a Victorian B&B, has a hot tub and antiques. Bi-Rite Market and Pizzeria Delfina offer good eats.<br/><br/>The fantastical murals of San Francisco's Mission District are an intriguing dialogue between artists and their city that you can easily experience on foot. On any given day in Clarion Alley, tourists from all over the world mingle with field-tripping students (and the homeless). Start at the Mission Street end of Clarion Alley, then exit at Valencia Street and head south (turn left). Check out the murals all the way to 20th Street. Typically, walk one or two blocks (east or west) to view. Murals include "Vamos Gigantes" (19th Street between San Carlos and Lexington streets), "MaestraPeace" (18th between Linda and Lapidge streets) and "Mission Pool" (Linda Street at 19th Street). Or take one of four mural tours offered by Precita Eyes ([415] 285-2287, http://www.precitaeyes.org ; no tour more than $15), a mural arts organization in the Mission. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2tWQTSaKDcuLsaK8joh-MC3Pea0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2tWQTSaKDcuLsaK8joh-MC3Pea0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2tWQTSaKDcuLsaK8joh-MC3Pea0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2tWQTSaKDcuLsaK8joh-MC3Pea0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/-LRLZiq7QmM" height="1" width="1"/>

the plane ride, you will need to have a pet carrier or crate for them. Many airlines have specific rules and restrictions on what type can be used. Resections often include materials used, as well as size. Most will provide you with that information when asked. Speaking of pet crates and carriers, it is important to make sure that you give your pet enough room to stand and move around a little bit. In fact, most airlines will refuse to transport pets that they feel are unsafe from small pet crates and carriers.

It is also important to make sure that you get your pet checked by their vet. You will want to make sure that your pet has all required vaccinations and that they are fit for travel. Also, all airlines require that you receive a health certificate, which will state that your pet is healthy and safe for travel.

The above mentioned points are just a few of the many that you will want to take into consideration when traveling with a pet. Added tips include booking direct flights, making sure your pet’s collar is marked with the proper identification, as well as their pet carrier.
