We are downsizing the Colorado Mountain Dog’s crate to a 700 and we’re also told that it “should t” be a problem to take on the 747-8. Again, using Lufthansa.īooking was easier as I just went to FRA airport and approached the desk and booked our pets with our CWT SATO reservation. We actually watched as the dogs were loaded into the aircraft (they were stacked on a larger pallet, so our worries about size were pretty meaningless).įast forward to June 2023 and we are moving from FRA to HND. We abided by all of the pre flight checklist items. Med certificate was done at Fort Carson, but no one ever asked or looked at the paperwork.Ĭrates were never measured, only weighed.

Like most of you, pet shipping is our #1 stress. Our experiences are ongoing and exclusive to Lufthansa. (Colorado Mountain Dog and German Shepherd). Here is our experiences with flying with a Large and giant breed dog. I have to say that flying out of Frankfurt with the dogs using a Giant crate was very easy.įirst time post and I am very thankful that this forum exists.

The attendant checked our bags as well and they were taken away. We were charged 600€ total for both dogs.Īnother attendant quickly measured the height of the kennel and called to ensure it would fit on the 747-8 she told us it easily fits through the big cargo door! She made a few calls but ultimately said everything was GTG after reviewing our med certificate, Japan entry form, and rabies titer. The attendant was very friendly and informed our booking and tickets. We zip tied the lead and collar to the crate door, the attendant was thrilled we did that for some reason.

We arrived the prescribed 3 hours before departure and had about 30 min to wait after clearing security/immigration. We had to reassemble the giant crate because it was too big for the taxi van. We showed up to Door 3 at departures and unloaded the giant and large crate. We called the Lufthansa support line and worked through the rebooking of the pets pretty effortlessly. I don’t know if we needed to do this, but we did just in case. We changed our flight to depart earlier due to rising temperatures in June at Frankfurt. ![]()
