Cash-strapped airline increases charge for transporting dogs

As reported in the New York Post, U.S. Airways eliminated free snacks in coach class on all its domestic flights starting June 1. The airline will, however, continue to offer complimentary soft drinks.
 
Besides leaving travelers hungry (especially if they forget to bring along their own nuts, pretzels, and/or chips), this also means that dog lovers bringing four-footed best friends along for the trip can expect to pay more for the privilege, because in addition to increasing charges for oversized bags, U.S. Airways will also up the fee for transporting dogs.
 
Intrepid travelers, undeterred by the extra cost of traveling with dogs, will want to read FetchDog's expert advice on the subject of flying Fido, and invest in a safe, secure, airline-approved dog carrier.
 
And while you're at it, remember to provide dog treats and an easy-to-pack dog water bowl for your canine co-passenger.
