What are the best airlines for pets from the US to Asia?
I am moving from Chicago to Manila for 2 years and my 2 cats are going with me. They travel well and have flown with Lufthansa for European trips and have been fine.
I am flying out of Chicago in July and need to know the best airlines for them to fly as excess baggage. They are too large to come with me (plus, airlines only allow 1 carry-on pet per person/flight). Also, Delta and a few other US carriers won't even carry them as excess baggage/cargo during summer months (understandably so).
Airlines I am looking at now include: Asiana, Air China, Cathaty, Continental, Delta, Etihad, EVA, Japan Airlines, and Korean. I am still researching, but I thought I would ask here for some guidance as well--as I have my work cut out for me :0)
If you have any experience with traveling with pets to Manila or other asian countries nearby, please advise.

Any airlines will do. All airlines are ensure your (every) animal travels safely and comfortably. There are several different options available to get your pet to its final destination, including being brought into the cabin with you (contact airline option), checked as baggage, or being shipped as a cargo. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated with the same comfort and care you have come to expect. Again, all that you have listed (airlines) above will do.
I did on Cathay Airline when I brought home my german shepperd puppy 5 yrs ago.
