I'm confused.....doesn't take much!!!
 

Hi
I wonder if any one can tell me which airline takes big dogs as excess baggage. i know there have been 1000's of threads but things have changed recently and I've got mixed up with who does what.:unsure:
Thanks

What do you mean by big? If the weight of the dog and travel crate/kennel combined is >32kg, they can't go as excess baggage. We were able to ship our whippet-x as excess baggage (that was with Air Canada...and they still take them as excess baggage, I believe) but our large black lab was too heavy and considered cargo (far more expensive!)

HTH,
Alex

Depressed now:thumbdown: The dogs are over 32kg each, but i was under the impression that almost canadian booked the dogs on himself. Does this mean that he booked them as cargo but on his flight?
Where have I read that the weight is up to 70kg including crate, or is this the cargo max. Surely it can't be cos you would struggle with a St Bernard etc.
Still confused to some extent:confused:

Looking in this thread: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...=444485&page=2 it looks like he paid over 4 grand and went through a pet-shipping company, as cargo, but yes, they travelled on the same flight.

Many thanks Alex, will now look at pet carriers and not fall over from the prices, hopefully
