She flew with him, but he still to be"checked" - the airline wouldn't allow him as carry on. If you do that, the animal still should be packed as for shipping, with heat/cooling packs as appropriate, but should be out of your control for hopefully a lot less time.
No it's not simpler it's a lot more complicated and expensive, BP require CITES so it's a different ball game.

Again $1000 between paperwork and shipping and it must be done by someone with experience (exporter)
