Air Canada Have A Sense of Humour????
Before finally deciding that taking our two German Shepherds to Calgary with British Airways via Vancouver with a drive through the Rockies was the best idea, we finally got a quote for them to traval as Cargo on a direct flight to Calgary with Air Canada.
2400 pounds :scared:
Even the British Government aren't that thieving.

BA is going to cost us about 550 pounds for the pair of them to travel as excess baggage plus a one way mini van hire plus gas plus motel. All in all about 1000 pounds (damn US keyboard does not have a pound sign).
Air Transat would have been cheaper, but the flight schedules just don't fit in with our needs.

I've never been in the same situation, so can't offer any further suggestions.
I can tell you, however, that if you press your ALT key and type 156 at the same time... you will have your £

WOW - Air Canada charged me 80 ounds to bring my JAck Russell from Heathrow to Vancouver and it cost me a further 50 ponds for a crate. Sure must go up with size.
