Re: Dog to Fly ..... Zoom Code & Option
just to let you know we have brought two dogs recently with air transat you do have to ring the this number in I think its toronto 01 877 8726728 ask for clubclass reservations then say you want to book your pet you should then be able to book at a cost £125.00. They email confirmation to you. By the way I have taken this information from my pet invoice so should be right.
you cannot book a pet through any london office. also I had a pet passport done for each of my dogs and they accepted that in London, Canada and USA with out any problems.
I hope this helps.

Do you have to buy a clubclass ticket though for yourself
How did you make the booking:
Online then call to book pets
Book pets first then book online
Or did you just book it all at the sametime over the phone on the number you gave.
Was there any stipulation ref max weight (i.e. A.Canada say max 32Kl incl crate)
Sorry for all the Q's
We will also be bringing 2 dogs

ok like you I was told no dogs they had to go cargo and then got chatting to a guy who had just brought his over.
You have to book via canadian side you have to pay in $cnd not uk £ when going through the dreadful answer phone system you press the number for club or upgrade and then tell them you want to book a pet they should be able to do it from there, they only take five pets at a time so I would book my pets on before booking my flight. As we confirmed our pets booking we booked our flights on line so as to be on the same flight. They do stop taking pets at certain times of year due to extream weather but our pets were really well taken care of at gatwick. Also we found a company that supplies pet cargo recommend carriers at a fraction of the price of the shops they are a wholesale company but will sell to individuals. I think they are made by hagen
we also bought our pets the liners which are brilliant they keep them warm when its cold and cool if it gets hot, they also came with wheels which is handy for around the airport if you want the details let me know anything else just email me
by the way sorry to ramble.

Better to get reccommended info from people who have done it than chance it without so I am really grateful for all your help and advice.

Hi Davie
the company is called SMYLEE PETS they have 2 phone numbers
08452 607160 or 01953 861266 they retail at about half the price of any where else.
Also don't take any dog food or biscuits with you, I have known people to get into trouble for this. Just do what we did buy them Mcdonalds when you get off the plane.
Good luck.

Re: Dog to Fly ..... Zoom Code & Option
When I spoke to Air Canada I was quoted over £4700 this was because I wanted to transport FIVE dogs and ONE cat (SIX animals) They wouldn't let me take them as excess baggage as they said they don't do that so unless I spoke to someone who didn;t know what they were doing or it's different if all you're doing is transporting one animal I don't know, all I was doing was telling the OP what I was told. I did NOT speak to an agent to go through Air Canada.

Re: Dog to Fly ..... Zoom Code & Option
I take it that code isn't for the transportation of dogs? Don't think (but don't quote me on this) that Zoom transport dogs they seem only to use certain agents who you have to go through.
My dogs weigh about 45kg each and the crates probably weigh about the same (extra large airpet crates x 2). Anyone been in this situation and who did you use and how much did it cost?
Can't seem to get to talk to anyone at Air Transat about transportation. Do the dogs have to travel on the same flight and I'm guessing that you have to be the other side after they arrive to do paperwork. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
