Actually I'll be staying at my sis-in-laws place in New Westminster. I'm hoping to get out one day during the weekend to check out the LFS while my fiance' looks for dresses. Anthony, you should pm me your phone number, and thanks for the offer. I take it I can just look up the addresses to the LFS in the phone book?
Joel, she's an attendant.

I tried checking in coral once with WestJet. Had a huge foam box that they refused to check in. After they found out there were live animals in the box, they said, for sure 100% that it would not be allowed onto the flight even as cargo. If I wanted to take it home, I HAD to use the WestJet cargo service
 (which of course was not available that day).Long story short, I ended up having to call Chin Lee to help pick up the corals and hold them for a month before shipping it down to me in Edmonton.

That's quite strange that you weren't allowed to check them. Ocean's aquarium, here in Calgary, uses us to ship their fish quite abit. I've done many flights that have had live fish on it. I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, sometimes it depends on the person doing the check-in.

On an international Flight my friend showed customs, the attendants and baggage check in her Betta in a cup of water and they were fine with it. She carried it in her lap.
now I can't see a domestic flight being much more strict than an international...

WestJet does not allow sw fish/corals on except with their cargo carrier. It will cost an extra $75 or so. Went through the same thing with WestJet last year with CindyT. Pain in the buttocks because she had called ahead & gotten an "a-ok" from their customer service rep, then when she gets there they said no way. I had to drive all the way back to the airport, pick it up & send it through their cargo on their next flight. Totally PITA snafu.

I've heard for a while that West Jet is a no go when it comes to carry on aquatic stuff. I've not had any experience but I remember some people saying that Air Canada will allow you to do it.
