One-Ear is going cargo. I've got no choice - NZ animal regulations are really tough (island nation, no rabies, etc). Cage has to be sealed by Vet in UK (these fees are included in cost, along with cage). Also have a few trips to the vets for samples & pest destruction treatment (not included in airfare). Fortunately quarantine is just 30 days - in your own home.
I guess I'm really asking if membership regulations actually say "human". Air NZ does, but Air Canada doesn't. Worth a try via Star Alliance?
