Subject: Avoiding cargo
Question: Hello! My fiance and I are moving to London and are planning to bring our two cats with us. We would like to avoid placing them in cargo and instead devised a plan to fly to Paris and take the Eurotunnel train. Is this a feasible option? Will they allow cats in the cabin for flights to France? Also, we are getting all of our paperwork done here in New York, but I'm concerned about the stop over in France. Will their papers still be valid by the time we enter the U.K.? Thanks for your help.
Answer: Hi A.,
Thank you for your inquiry. I would not recommend the route you mentioned. You must comply with the PETS travel scheme and approved routes for entry into the UK. By going through France, you will encounter many difficulties and paperwork issues.
Cargo is completely safe for pets traveling. We have used both Virgin Atlantic and British Airways cargo for many years, without any problems. I encourage you to visit our website, where we have an entire page dedicated to debunking the myths surrounding pets traveling as cargo: Your Pets as Cargo?
While you are there, I also suggest you consider purchasing HydrationGel for your cats' trip. These packs will help hydrate your cats completely for the long flight. The HydrationGel website is: HydrationGel
Happy travels & wagging tails!
Kind regards,
