Recently saw an article in the Washington Post stating that as of October 1, USAirways will no longer take live animals as checked baggage or cargo, although if reservations had been booked before August 17, you can still do so, at least for a while. Seems you will still be allowed to carry small animals on board as "carry-ons". Special animals (guide dogs, assist dogs) would also still be allowed in the cabin. Don't know if other airlines will follow suit but this will presently appears to affect anyone traveling USAirways via Aruba with animals.

Greetings all! I will soon be attending medical school in Bonaire..St. James school of medicine. I plan on flying the new Continental non-stop from Houston to the island in January. I will be traveling (hopefully) with my cat. Continental allows 3 pets per plane as carry-on (1 in first class and 2 in coach/economy). Does anyone have any information about bringing pets onto the island? What specific requirements need to be met? Is there a vet on the island? How difficult is it to get them off the island after they have been there for about a year? Any and all information would be helpful!
