I just received an e-mail from my contact at WestJet, and he tells me that "nothing has changed with respect to pet acceptance for our Hawaii flights." Fingers crossed that WestJet's policy changes in the future, but right now your best bet is to fly to someplace where you can transfer to an Alaska flight: http://www.dogjaunt.com/2011/08/taking-an-in-cabin-dog-to-hawaii-breaking-news-from-alaska-airlines/ Alas, alas, Ethan.

Thanks, Ethan!! I'll get on the phone myself and see if they tell me the same thing. How exciting, especially for Canadian residents, to have a choice other than Alaska and Korean Air!!

I think one of your dogs is a service dog, right? So that would likely explain why you could travel with them in-cabin to Hawaii on United. I'd be thrilled to learn that United's policy regarding in-cabin pet dogs has changed, but I don't think it has, alas. Julia, your travels amaze me! I think one of your dogs is a service dog, right?

I had 2 in cabin from Seattle to Korea and then onto Ho Chi Mein City, Vietnam. They were wonderful to me and the dogs, I highly recommend them. I don't know about their Hawaii policy, but it is Hawaii that has the strict incoming requirements, not the airlines. I traveled to Hawaii in June 2010 with 2 dogs in cabin and had no problem on united air. I was meet in cabin by the Quarantine Dept. of Hawaii and quickly shuffled to the animal control office to verify my paperwork, but all was in order and they released my dogs to me in 45 min. My next adventure.... Trinidad! fun in the sun with my pooch. Julia Hello Dog Jaunt,
