waterlogged Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 If you have seen how they throw those bags sometimes. I would probab;y say No. though I'd assume you could get a special small crate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Air NZ have been contacted by SPCA re the bad packaging of turtles in the past so they are very sensitive about it. I had some real dramas sending some frogs airport to airport a while ago and they went and looked up their directives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amethyst Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I wouldn't, can you carry them on? Those bags are given hell, I've had several torn open, wheels ripped off the works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I flew with a turtle as hand luggage once (oh wait, no I didn't, it was an axolotl). Thise collapsible insulated picnic bags are ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
