I live on the border w/ Canada, and there are direct flights to the UK a short drive away in Canada whereas from my own city and within 7 hours drive in the US there are no direct flights and lengthy holdovers w/ a high risk of canceled connections (have had this happen, as have many others, along with facing blatant disability discrimination from the airlines that fly from here so I will avoid it altogether now).
So I want to fly both myself and my cat from a canadian city.
I've really struggled finding any information on how to do this. I did contact SeaAir and have been filling forms and waiting for responses from them. The airline was not helpful at all, nor was their cargo company who only advised that I *had* to use a pet relocation company. The UK and their requirement that pets not only be shipped in the cargo hold, but as manifest cargo, really makes things far more difficult than it is for any other european destination from Canada. Already feeling almost ready to give up because me and stress are not friends.
Has anyone here sent a pet via Canada? Any advice? My husband said no to sending her to france and getting someone to help with driving.
