Just booked our flights to Calgary and found that Air Transat seem to be the only airline with No weight restrictions for pets. We initially went to Air Canada because they are recommended by one of the pet carriers, however because one of our dogs weights over 32 Kilos they would only fly him as Cargo instead of excess baggage at a cost of £1,300 :scared: Air transat on the other hand have no restrictions and will fly him for £125. Thumbs up to AIR TRANSAT.

We are thinking of buying a Newfoundland, but we will probably wait until we move over to Canada before getting one.

At the moment we will be flying over a cat and two tortoises.

Hi
We went with Air Transat for the same reason and just a word of warning, their planes are nowhere near as comfortable as Air Canada, the seats were small and we had little legroom. However the staff were really helpful and friendly.
It's okay though as it's only one way!!!!!!

If you're only on it for about 8 hours, does it really matter how comfortable it is?? Small sacrifice to make to save a fortune!

During the flight you may care but before and afterwards you don't give a fig!.
As I said it doesn't really matter as it's only one way.

Air Transat also doesn't charge for babies which is another thumbs up!

Has anyone tried Zoom though? They take pets now but I am not sure from their website if there is a weight restriction.

Just to clear this one up Zoom STILL DO NOT TAKE PETS AS EXCESS BAGGAGE. They refer you to a third party Pet Transportation company.

Not your usual self Butch? your normal recommendation for Pets is to shoot them to save money.

Or is it only rich people that are allowed Pets.

Actually it was dbd who said shoot the dog.

I can't believe how many people have offered to "shoot them" "run them over" or "take them to the vet they have savaged my kids". When I told my Wife, I was quite rightly informed that the order of priority in my house is the kids, the dogs then me....so there. Looks like the dogs are coming then! Thanks for the offer though.
