Ok,
After seeing the thread last week on the lack luster performance of AAE and a missing Bredli I started to get a bit nervous about my Bredli making the same journey next week (but to Newcastle). After chatting with the seller (true blue) I rang around all the airports and depots he will be visiting to ensure a smooth trip. Everyone I spoke to from AAE were very helpful and considering they knew nothing about reptiles and it was a bit of a novelty they were quite keen to help me out and avoid problems. I believe that the problem with AAE is that no one really knows for sure what the go is with "snakes on a plane". I spoke to a guy called Warren , he is the operations clerk in sydney and he was extremely helpfull, I got all the info I needed from him and now I am all set........ I hope. There are a few things I learnt today that may help people in the future. especially in NSW.
QANTAS Link will not transport reptiles
JETSTAR will not transport reptiles
Any reptile going to rural NSW will need to go through small airlines.
It is worth sorting out step by step everything that will be going on during the freighting of snakey and this will ensure no suprises.
I hope this helps someone and has reassured people in AAE service. Stand by for the actual outcome next friday.
