Continental Airline Tickets

What airlines allow guinea pigs in the cabin?

Hi, I'm moving from Sac, CA to Fay, NC in three weeks and have to get there by plane. I have two little guinea pigs that I love to death and I have to take them with me. One problem- I have called Northwest, United, Delta, US airways, Southwest, Continental, and American airlines just to get a "No, guinea pigs are not allowed in the cabin." Delta used to allow them, but their policy has recently changed. I refuse to put them in the cargo hold due to death due to either the pressure or stress. So my question is... which airline allows them in the cabin with me? I am willing to pay a fee, whatever it takes, to have my babies fly to NC with me. I will put them in a small kennel the whole flight, just let me know which airline WILL allow them. I'm getting desperate. Thanks a bunch.

1. u have to put ur ginea pigs in a cage. and b shure its smaller than the carry on size. ummm. go to the speacial needs desk and ask. if u do that, u shud b able to take them on any airline.
2. You can have them as a carry on and say theyre mutated dogs
3. It appears that you've contacted all the major airlines. I remember there used to be a couple that would allow carry-on small pets, but as you've found, they do not offer that service any longer. I would contact the special services/needs department of the airline you are planning to fly and see if some exception can be made. If not, you may want to consider trying to send your piggies with the moving truck that is moving your furniture? Maybe one of the drivers could carry them in the cab? Just a thought--don't know if thats possible or not. Alternately, you could contact an animal transport service and see what they charge and what their accommodations are: http://www.smallanimaldelivery.com/ Best of luck to you---I hope your piggies arrive safely!
4. How about if you tell them you have flying anxiety?? I am looking for an airline that allows guinea's to fly to and have yet to come across one. Good luck and if you find one please post it on here if you can!!!
