The summer should be a great time to fly with pets to Latin America from the U.S. (to Mexico, Caribbean, Centraland South America).
We have more capacity in these markets than ever before, so we're able to move pets on flights this summer that have normally been full in the past. Also, we are flying more aircraft that can accommodate live animals this summer to some of the smaller cities around the United States.
Places like Buffalo, New York; St. Louis, Missouri; Del Rio, Texas; and others are benefitting from new aircraft being used by our regional partners Colgan and Chautauqua.
Another important fact about Continental is that you can count on us flying your pets 365 days/yr.
We will not embargo live animals just because the weather is heating up. Our world head quarters and largest hub city is located in Houston,Texas where temperatures exceed 95-100 degrees (90-100% humidity) for at least 6-7 months of the year. So, we understand how to protect animals from the extremetemperatures! Other carriers will leave you stranded at the last minute butContinental will find a way to fly your pet safely.
In places like Phoenix, Arizona where temperatures on the airport's tarmac can reach 135 degrees F, we can utilize very early and very late evening flights to ensure pets are safe along with ourclimate-controlled vehicles.
Finally, we continue to expand.
Our newest route is the non-stop service betweenShanghai (PVG) to New York (Newark -EWR). And our seasonal flight from New York toAthens starts again (daily) on May 2nd and will remain through the summer.
We also continue to fly two daily non-stops from Tokyo's Narita airport to Houston and toNew York (EWR).
We also have a hub in Guam and serve points throughout the Pacific.
Does Continental accept pets as acompanied baggage?
We must accept all pets only as cargo. Sorry.
