coonboy 160 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Bit pushed for time on this one lads sumone was sposed to be driving to uk to pic it up, but a freinds visitin very soon can he just book his ticket and turn up with the pup as hand luggage? And I am guessin will he need a small box for it to go in? Never done it this way but it will save a lot of time and money if its possible anyone done this and no how it goes ?

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 No you have to make arrangements for the pup to be transported in the hold in a certain type of crate, not many airlines will carry dogs and I dont know what other requirements there are as a friend of my mothers used to bring her dogs to ireland on the plane, the hold has to be heated especially for the dogs and I believe but im not 100% on this that they also have to ventilate (not sure if thats the right word for it) the hold, it used to be about 250 to transport the dogs from uk to ireland with the airline "bmi baby" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coonboy 160 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Gem ime sure I read sumwere it can go under your seat if its a certain size and with it leaving uk no passport or vacination needed but coming into uk or ire is hard work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Check with the airlines is your best bet, im only going on bmi baby's dog policy before they changed their 2 dog per plane policy to 1 dog per plane policy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I think you will find all livestock can only travel as freight. Costs a fortune going by those daft airline shows Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,718 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 There are restrictions on dogs flying; the 'plane has to have a pressurized hold, not all do. Also. live amimals can't be transported in the same hold as human remains. Some airlines WILL let a small dog, in an airline approved crate, travel in the main cabin, but you will probably have to pay for a seat ! So, there are government rules and airline rules, so the only thing you can do is check with the airline. I've flown dogs from the Middle East to the UK, and Australia, and also flown dogs from Oz to the UK, and the rules change with the destination and the airline ! Cheers.

patterdalejoel 669 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 cant go under the seat, they are touchy about anything going under there as it is where the lifejackets are Quote Link to post Share on other sites
