I looked at that, but Tumbles is too heavy and would have to go in 24 hours early. Don't want him to stress and be alone. Plan on flying in on Friday morning and leaving either late Sunday or early Monday. On Mango, it looks like he be R1125! SAA just say he'll be excess baggage, and give container costs, but am struggling to work out how much he be according to weight - http://www.flysaa.com/za/en/flyingSAA/baggage/excessBaggage.html - or am I just missing something?

Tumbleweed Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Dark glasses, white stick, walking harness for tumbles (tape some sticks to the "reins" to stiffen them up a bit)....then remember not to check out any hot air hostesses on the flight! Hahahahahaha! That's exactly what I was thinking!

Seems very cheap, but they say that its a flat fee per piece of excess baggage.Unless you fly business class, then its R350per piece.And Im sure your vet will lend you a box for the weekend? EDIT: Nope sorry - I see now they will charge double that rate for a big container eg. 125 x 75 x 85how much does Tumbles weigh? Edited June 23, 2014 by Little Fish

He's big for his breed and comes in between 40 and 45 - one vet remarked that he was the biggest goldie he had ever treated - and he have doesn't an ounce of fat on him... ...and my mother thinks he's underfed!

Wil6 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Thank you. It's the first time I've mentioned it. It was kinda hard to talk about so I kept it to myself. She was an awesome woof. She'll live on through the pics and feedback I get from the people who adopted her and Tumbles's pups. Like Spencer… Sorry to hear this man, know how you feel. Lost my German Shepherd while we were on holiday in Thailand not so long ago, still feels unreal and therefor never said goodbye to him. Keep stong Tumbleweed 1

Uni Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Laai hom in die bakkie en maak 'n roadtrip yeah road trip - less stressful for the ol'guy.Sorry to hear about Bama - noticed you didn't mention anything so i'm glad i didn't pry.
Guest EdEdEd Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Hahahahahaha! That's exactly what I was thinking! Sadly they'll still insist that tumbles ride in the back... and ask Mirriam to escort you everywhere... Or they will just refuse to let you fly alone as they did with that paraplegic lady the other day... Tumbleweed 1

Laai hom in die bakkie en maak 'n roadtrip Sjoe, the last roadtrip to Durbs with him was kinda stressful! That's why I was hoping that one hour in the hold shouldn't be too bad. May have some cash coming to me soon, so it won't be too bad to fork out an extra R2k to fly him down with me on SAA.
