Marin,
Thanks for the info. But how about the environment of the baggage
compartment?
I've flown w/ my dog (United & AA) from ORD to SEA, and to other cities
(BUF/PDX). He's not a breed easily affected by cold, so that's not a worry,
but he doesn't like too much heat. I am still concerned about the
conditions though.
As to his treatment by the baggage handlers, I get pretty nervous about
this, but tip the skycaps a tenner. I also write a note on the crate w/ his
name, and other info saying he's friendly, and likes treats. I duct-tape a
sandwich bag of treats to the side and they're usually gone by then. -- and
I do a lot of praying.)
He seems to be OK after the flights, but I still wonder...

Anything out of the
routine during an airplane turnaround is resented by the ramp
crew, and last-minute, gate-checked baggage is one of the
most resented things of all, because it assumed by the crew
that the owner is too stupid to have realized the bag should
have been checked in the first place.
