Regarding airlines, Singapore will not touch pets, British airways flat rate for 2 cats which includes freight, handling, fuel surcharge, transits fees, avi check, vet sealing fees, customs entry, and security, is £825.00. Qantas was the most helpful if you ring 0208 754 1001 ask for Chris Smith, he will send you an e-mail within 30mins detailing the costs. You have to weigh the cats and the box, then work out each of the above costs, e.g freight is £17.36 per kilo and fuel surcharge is 26pence per kilo, lots of things to add up, but it worked out a lot cheaper. My cats weight: Dudley 8.75 and Dexter 6.75, so total cost £654.80. That included the weight of the carrier which is 1.25.

Hope this helps anyone.
