First time going to Potomac

I am going to try to go to Potomac in April and was wondering if I could get some help? Which airport is best to fly into? Which airlines do people like and how much is it generally to fly with a dog? TIA!!

Re: First time going to Potomac

Baltimore, Maryland or Washington-Dulles airports...just have to check all the airlines for the best price and the pet fee for each airline is different, as well as which size kennel they allow. Delta allows up to a 500 vari kennel and pet fee is $200 each way...American allows up to a 400 vari kennel and pet fee is $150 each way. Continental only does cargo shipping and charges usually begin around $350+ and is by weight. Southwest doesn't accept pets as baggage.
GOOD LUCK!!!

^ exactly what they said, but also do your research through the forum as this topic has been discussed several times and there are a lot of options available to you. If money is a concern, you might want to see if anyone is driving past any of the noted airports and willing to pick you up. Its a long drive for most, so having someone pitch in for some gas money is a good selling point
