    Trip to Minneapolis

    I need to be there on the 21st. I was unable to book a flight in and flight out on the same day by the website. So I called and there is a 10 hour wait for phone support, that's on Alaska airlines.

    I was able to reserve a car from enterprise, it's about 600 bucks for the whole trip. However all they have available is midsize sedans and tiny cars. All the S UV's and premium cars are all reserved or rented out

    This is almost 3 weeks in advance too

      Where are you flying out of? I thought you were near LA?

      You can fly in and out on Southwest on the the 21st from LAX for $89 each way.

          Delta is better, more expensive but you can get nonstop both ways for $477.20 total.

          The southwest has a stop on both trips. Second trip takes you from minn to midway (chicago) so ends up being 8 hours all together.

          Delta:

          Los Angeles to Minneapolis

          Delta • Fri, Jan 21
          6:25am - 11:54am6:25am through 11:54am
          3h 29m (Nonstop)

          Minneapolis to Los Angeles

          Delta • Fri, Jan 21
          6:23pm - 8:23pm6:23pm through 8:23pm
          4h (Nonstop)
          4h (Nonstop)


          I used Expedia for the Delta flight. Southwest.com for the southwest flights.

            I worry about flight cancelation. That's all. What would you do? If the flights cancels book another I guess

                    I bought a crap mobile for $1,200 and drove it Medford Oregon to Charleston South Carolina.
                    Then I sold it for $1,600

                        I presume the pup will be too big to fit as carry-on which means he will go with luggage.

                        The problem doing that in the winter is that if it is too cold they won't let him on.

                        I did this with Buddy when I first got him. Did not know if he was going to get on until I got to the airport.

                        Southwest wasn't dog friendly back then; I had to take American with a plane change. Buddy got to LAX 5 hours before me.

                        Time for a road trip.

                                  It was a great car with zero mechanical problems and even the interior was clean.

                                  Honestly, how much you spend on a car really isn't a good way to gauge it's reliability.

                                    If he fits. I know I had planned on putting buddy under the seat but he grew too much to fit. Good luck

                                        BTW I'm trusting the breeder, like you I'm concerned. I'll need to reserve the spot as only a limmited number of pets are allowed.... right now Delta is a 4 hour hold. Hopefully next week things will calm down a bit. Putting out the good vibe hoping for the best.

                                        And it's gonna be weird. Haven't had a puppy for 11 years... and expensive more than likely lol

                                            The flight is booked however I still have to get permission for the puppy. I'm pretty excited about it I spend a lot of time on Facebook at the masstiff forum.
