So sorry to hear that. it's devastating every time but they're worth it for all the joy they bring when they're with you. I hope you can soon look back fondly on the good times.

This quote had everything includede, eg crate, delivery to terminal, health certificate etc but still £1800!!! (quote a few months ago was £1500) pfff what to do now.....
Flying cat & dog from Gatwick to Vancouver with Air Transat $275 CAD each on 28 May.
They will be on the same plane as us - we check them in at the same desk as ourselves 3 hours before the flights,

Hassle free is sometimes worth paying for - Just be thankful you're not flying horses out at 5k each! My hubby is from Fishguard originally! Was down in Castell Henllys Iron Age fort just last week! Getting loads of history into the kids before we leave!!!
Good luck with your journey.

do you know where you go to collect the dogs at Vancouver airport - just wondering if it's oversize baggage or cargo when they travel on the same flight as you?
We travel to Vancouver in a month.
Thanks

Congrats. Hope you're enjoying it.

Did you land in Vancouver? If so, where did you collect the dog from?

Did you book directly with them or through a company???? are they travelling in the actual cabin or will they be in the cargo hold?

We went to Toronto and our dog was waiting in the package area, near the suitcases. He has settled well.

The Dogs go in the hold. Have to say £175.00 was a bargain.

I booked the dog and cat with Air Transat direct - had to phone the Cargo office in Montreal at the same time as booking our flights online. Otherwise there might not have been space for them (I was told the plane we are going on has space for 5 animals). It was quite simple in the end.
Air Transat don't allow pets in the cabin - not that I would want our dog in the Cabin for 8/9 hours!!! - they are in the hold. I have been told that they need to be checked in at the main check in 3 hours before flying.

I will post up where we ended up picking them up from in Vancouver when I get there and find them!!!!LOL.

OMG the packers arrive in 3 weeks!!!
