Hello everyone,
I have a 7 month old shih tzu. I will be traveling with her to Cyprus. I would really like to take her in the cabin with me since it is a really long flight (20 hours) with 3 plane changes . The nortwest requirement for dogs to come with the owner as a carry on is 15 pounds with the carrier. my dog weighs 14 pounds herself with the carrier she is 16.6 or 17 pounds. She is exceeding the wight limits for a carry on by 2 pounds. I totally do not want to cargo her to Cyprus. I dont know how strict the airlines are in this kind of situations but i just wanted to post this so if i hear any experiences from any of you it may help me alot. Do they really check the weight of the animal on the check in counter??are they really strict about it??I am flying with nortwest. I would be really happy if any of you could quide me on this so i could be prepeared. Thank you so much for your time.
