Flying Dog Query

Hank_Marvin

My heading is a wee bit funny lol....

I am going back to Belfast from the UK in 7 weeks and I am trying to find information about taking a dog [ small poodle 2yrs old ] with me. I'm just looking for more info. Dog is allready Microchipped and i will be using FlyBe from Exeter to Belfast City Airport. So does FlyBe allow dogs either in the hold or on the plane. Also will i need a pet passport?? Any anyone have a rough idea off the cost involved.
cheers

Pass - just found the link.

Suggest that you contact the airline directly to check.

Other dogs and cats

Above info about pets/assistant dogs for Flybe from their website. So, if its a normal pet dog, it will have to go into the hold of the aircraft in an acceptable pet carrier.

You will not need a pet passport as the dog will not be leaving the Common Travel Area.

Thanks MissH will get them on the phone and ask about the dog.

Would it be possible to come back to us and let us know what price you are quoted please? It is something I have always meant to look into and never got round to it.

Nothing at all. Animal is travelling within the country.

Just spoke with Flybe Cargo and if you live in the west country you can only take your dog via
certain airports. The ones that are ok are Southampton/East Midlands/Gatwick. Exeter/Cardiff/Bristol
don't take Dogs. The price is around £200 one way. So looks like Mum's dog will be revisiting the kennels again lol....
