 Anyone for london that can help with travelling
Hi all
I live in London, UK and I have a YT which is 10 months. My home country is CYPRUS and I have to travel at least twice a year there. When I went in summer (he was 5 months old) he travelled with me. He was great. Did not cry when was put in his kennel etc. He arrived in Cyprus happy and super healthy.
However, I think I did not do a proper research before I took him because I just called an airline ( Cyprus airways) and they told me that pets only travel from and to UK as cargo. So I booked Draco a place from and to UK and this cost me 1200 GBP which is a huge amount of money. I cannot afford this twice a year.
When I got to the airport, I saw people carrying their pets with them. I found out later that certain airlines allow you to take your dog with you on the plane (if it is less than 8kg with its carriage) from UK but when you return to UK you need to send it as cargo.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any ideas about cheap ways to do this from London? Also, is Heathrow the only airport that does this?
Many thanks and sorry for the long message
