Tedious pedantry. I was simply cueing up a jolly jape concerning a second round of QE and the UK going to the dogs.

I wondered if pets of an avian nature might be carried on this charter flight?

I ask as a fellow poster squawked a lot about his flighty parrot, if you get a chance maybe you could crane your neck over the fellow posters thread below

http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...ghlight=parrot

I know I should keep my beak out of this matter as I'm not flying to the US, but I assumed someone might get in a flap if our fellow posters parrot thread was not connected with this one

If you have any questions no worries about budgie-ing me about it

Well I will sign off as i have to hawk my bad humour elsewhere

So I am wondering if anyone else would be interested in sharing a flight? My ideal route is London to east coast US/Canada (Toronto/Montreal/Boston/New York) in December/January, but am very flexible in terms of route and timing.

Please let me know if you're interested and I can share more information!
I would be interested - family of 4 plus an English setter. Flexible re dates.

I was so worried when I flew my two pups from London to SF in 2010 I wish I had thought of the idea. But just in case it does not happen and you do need to fly them I would just like to offer some reassurance.

I spent nine months of worry before we were due to move, on the day of the move I was in a complete state, seeing the dogs disappear through the xray. My Boston has seizures and extreme separation anxiety. Anyway long story short I came off the plane in a complete mess and both my dogs were perfectly fine. I had a wonderful company to help with moving them. Anyway all the best which ever way you fly..

Hi Fhudo

I have had some interest - I've just sent you a private message with more information.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi,

Did this charter flight go ahead? I am thinking of looking into charter flights again to get my dog from UK to Toronto.
