Travelling with Pets
Pets are part of the family, and we want to make their journey as safe and comfortable as yours. Most airlines allow cats and dogs to travel in the aircraft’s cargo hold, with bookings managed through an approved pet transport agent. Your freight provider can guide you through the process and confirm all requirements. You can find their contact details on this page.
