Gutted ! Air transat are no longer taking pets!
 
Air Transat told my hubby (Bob aka Snowman) that as of last week they are no longer taking pets!

Adds £900 to the bill:curse: :curse: to go with Air Canada!

Anyone know of another courier?

Just typical after I have just bought cat boxes to transport them in. Does this mean we will have to pay a fortune for a pet transport company to take them, as Air Canada don't fly direct from Manchester to Calgary, and I don't fancy having to take two kids and two cats via Heathrow. :thumbdown:

If you are flying zoom you have to use Ladyhaye.

I hope that means they are no longer taking bookings for pets - we're flying with them on 21 May with 3 dogs and have bookings (at least we hope we still do!):eek:

We're flying with Zoom and our cat is (hopefully!) on the same flight through Jet Set Pets. Manchester to Calgary, including the travel box for her was £418 for June.

Out of interest are you using a company to transport your cat?
