Travel London-Palma With Dog
11 Answers
I am investigating the possibility of taking a medium sized Jack Russel from London to Palma, Mallorca and back. I see that EasyJet only take guide dogs and BA will only take dogs under the most stringent conditions and very expensively!
Has anyone successfully taken a dog from London to Spain and back? If so I'd love to hear their experiences and things to do, and avoid doing!
Thanks in advance, all info gratefully received!
PS my U.K. Airport of choice is Gatwick but Luton and Heathrow are also possible.

Says here Monarch Airways take dogs out of Gatwick RSD. Not sure if they do your destination though. http:// www. monarch. co. uk/ faq/ flights/ flying- with- children- and- pets/ flying- with- animals

As far as I know animals, apart from guide dogs can only travel as 'freight' in a pressurized part of the hold. Heathrow has a special animal handling unit where all animals are sent on and collected off flights. You can not take an animal ,apart from a guide dog, on the plane with you, there are very severe penalties (including haveing the animal destroyed) for trying to get a pet on a flight. Coming back a dog MUST go into quarantine for 6 months unless it has had the full rabies tests and inoculations.
You can only take animals out of the country or bring them back in by using an airport that has a special animal handling unit and I think Heathrow has the only such unit in the UK.

Looks like Manchester does it. http:// book.ma ncheste rairpor t.co.uk /mancar go.nsf/ Content /animal sbyair

Be warned it is going to be VERY expensive!!! You need to use one company to get the dog to Spain and another Spanish company to arrange the return!! It is not a 'DIY' job!

Thanks for all your help! Air travel seems very complicated so I will consider sailing Portsmouth/Plymouth Santander/Bilbao, driving to Barcelona then sailing to Mallorca! Days instead of hours, plus probably an overnight stop. I'll have to weigh up the extortionate air fees against petrol & hotel fees plus time lost.
FlyBe does it as well. Plenty of choice. I wouldn't give up yet if I were you. This is a good link.
