I am going to be going to van sometime in August, and was wondering if its possible to pick up some livestock and bring it with me on the plane, or is that a big no no?? thanks!

I would ask westjet, people can bring dogs so I don't see why not!

No. You would have to pack the sw livestock separate & send it through with a courier. Been there, done that. It'll cost about $70-75, but you can ship lots for that price. We sent 2 coolers full & could have sent more because it wasn't up to the max. weight yet.

If you're coming into town, give me a holler & come on over.

Hi Sean

Its Cargo, slightly different location but close to the main terminal.

The minimum charge is $60 with all the other charges just make sure its packed correctly.

PS Coolers sound like a great idea !

I know a certain member that filled a thermos type thingy and brought a few things back from Calgary... carry on I think... but Christy would know more about that....

There's been some discussion on various forums, with westjet it's 50/50 whether you'll be able to carry them on. Depends on who you talk to on what day it seems. The rule is somewhat vague and subject to interpretation...

I would argue with them that they are pets, and people can bring dogs that bark, pee, and crap on the plane, you should be able to bring fishies.

I flew westjet a few years ago and stuffed a laptop cardboard box with bags and carried it onto the plane. Explaining it to airport security was another thing...

Yes but the dogs that bark, pee, and crap are put in "cargo" just like any fish, as was stated earlier by Wendell.

Small dogs can go at people's feet in cages.

At least they can with lots of companies, I don't fly westjet too often.
