Re: Land Pets in Paris or UK?

Thanks for the tips, I will ask the Air france if they allow for this Vet Bed or pee pads, the link to pet info is pretty basic and doesn't cover these things, like whether we can include things like...

I saw in another thread you used to live here, do you have any friends here that could post them to you? HK post is very cheap fortunately. Although I am unaware of whether this is legal, I assume so.

I'm just saying these forums are meant to be a source of advice and help, writing things as a fact when they are not a fact does the opposite of helping.
