Any tips on this as just sorting stuff out, we have been quoted 800quid to ship a little boarder collie, very high and we have the container so anything that a good lancashire lad can help with

We have flown airtransat before, but there help line is - -well NO good

OK which one are you calling? The UK one is pants BUT if you use the Montreal based one they are awesome (well I found them so).

Do you have a number for them - you could PM me

i called them and they cut me off, but then that was a while ago.
Would rather ship her myself as i cant seem to fiqure why they charge £800 to ship a dog when its a couple hundred to do myself
i have her rabies shots, her vac 's upto date, her mirco chipped and all i need then is her fit to fly, i already bought her crate so she could get used to it

OK,

From the Canadian site
http://www.airtransat.com/en/4_2_6.asp

From UK site
http://www.airtransat.co.uk/en/4_2_6.asp

As I say I called Montreal cos UK\Europe was as much use as chocolate fireguard.

can I ask when you say a crate for transport what do you mean. We have a large cage which our dog uses every now and again would that be suitable of does it need to be completely enclosed? Also with cats can you transport them in cat carrier boxes (the ones you use for going to the vets) or again does it need to be anything different.

Thanks in advanced

Dog crates are hard plastic boxes and must comply with the airlines.
they are not the wire ones that we would use in our house, they are abit like the cat carriers that you can buy.

We bought ours online, although abit bigger than what she needs, we know that she will be happy in there.
if you follow the links that butch gave they will give info.
i hope this picture works for you

Thanks for that, it all makes more sense now!! Will look into how much that will cost (think the animals are going to more expensive to fly over than the humans in the family!!)

going to be flying to Toronto. We have three animals a large black lab and two cats. If you can check where you got your crate that would be great, just had a quick look and cant find one cheaper than £150 for the dog, which seems a shame to only use it once for that price

The problem with selling it to someone on here .... is that we're likely to be here while the buyer is there ..... or vicki versi!


Actually ...... Do you want to buy mine? We're in Calgary!

edit: ours is now used as a ski boot / skate storage crate!

Had a quick look on ebay after reading this and they actually have quite a few for sale, guess it must be people who have moved over here with animals

this is where we bought ours http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/dogs/d...arriers/crates

We bought the pet suite, if you sign up as well they give you a discount, worth it
I was happy with the delivery and came dhl.
If you are buying more than one i would be cheeky and email for a discount
Good luck, TO should not be a problem from glasgow

Zoom has pulled out and getting air transat to deal with pets is a nightmare
So if you are going manchester to calgary you may have to use a agent
We are going to fly to Clagary try the below.

Contact Steve Davidson for Air Transat 0161 498 9090
he deals with shipping pets from Manchester and Glasgow for Air Transat,
we have a choc lab and was told will be around £645 but need to buy the crate.
Or Mark Roblett from Gatwick/Heathrow 01784 431831

Zoom from Gatwick call Lynn on 01784 425300 told would be around £750 but need to by crate

Hope that helps
