Dogsfevr Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Everyone should make themselves aware of the new rules applying to those travelling with dogs, ************************************************************ ******************************************* Australian air Express has adjusted its weekend operating hours which has affected the flights we can receive animals for. During the week we are opened from 4am to midnight Monday to Friday so we can accept animals for all Qantas and Skywest (or which ever is your local airline)flights. On Saturday we are opening at 5am and closing at 3pm. This means any flight departing before 6.30 am or after 5pm we will not be accepting animals for. On Sunday we are opening at 7am and closing at 3pm. This means any flight departing before 8.30 am or after 5pm we will not be accepting animals for. These new hours came into effect about two weeks ago and are the same around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paptacular! Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Wow, that's really restrictive. ;) I know a few people like to fly pups to and from Darwin in the evening as it is a lot cooler.... this could make it difficult on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had an AAE account for a long time and regularly corresponded with our local AAE BD Manager. Never heard anything about this. I'll ask at AAE when I'm there at midnight tonight to pick up our new dog. I know in the past that what effects one AAE depot doesn't actually mean it effects everyone else despite what they say.

Faolmor Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Arghhh mine are booked to come back into Perth on a weekend. I will have to check what time the flight is coming in... So typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pockets Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 This has been in effect for over 12 months very restrictive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pockets Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Toll do not have such restrictions at this stage, so you can always fly virgin Jet pets and dogtainers utilize both companies so I wouldn't think organizing puppy flights by animal travel companies would be an issue ???
