Westjet does not allow the transportation of live fish as carry on, I looked into this years ago and that is an actual written policy for them. I do remember someone bringing fish over as oversized baggage, so that could be an option if packed well.

HAHAAA I don't have any frags since I am a newbie. Cash would have to suffice. I appreciate the help and if there are not any people making a straight drive form the coast to Alberta, I'm sure Justin would think about it. Myself, I don't know enough about transport to know what is best.

I *may* be able to help you out. My sister and her family are driving here for the holidays, but they may be stopping for a night halfway....not sure that would work out well for the fish? Let me know. Payment in rare and exotic frags accepted :D

It figures as much. I do know when I bought my husband's English Staffordshire pup, he could not be flown until the last week in January due to a flight embargo. I didn't know anything about liquids or let alone toothpaste. I have never been on a plane.:lol:

It is so awesome that anybody is even offering to help though. When my hubby drives to Kelowna next year I will make sure to post that he is going in case anyone needs a fish or something transported. He has no problem with it at all.

Thanks for the offer I would have done whatever it took but the fish is not allowed on the plane...:cry:

Now you realize I live in Edmonton.
My flight is for Monday January 5th I’ll be arriving in at midnight. (Well 12:06am)
You would be willing to meet me at the Edmonton international air port at that time?
Now do they charge to bring an animal (fish) on the plane? I’m flying with west jet.
If it works out I’m more then happy to do this for you guys.

Phone the airline and see how much to send it freight. J&L ship daily so I'm sure there is something already in place for livestock. Just make sure you package the little feller right with heat packs and all shoud be fine. Probably better then bouncing in a vehicle for 12 hours or more if the roads are bad.

Thanks for the advise but an awesome member of can reef will be driving him over. I have no idea of how to fly a fish and greenspottedpuffer thinks the little guy will make the drive no problem.

I am counting down the days...
