Making a booking for your Pet
Your Pet travels as cargo:
Our Unaccompanied Pets service is a cargo terminal to cargo terminal product. Your pet must be checked in at the cargo facility by you, and collected from the cargo facility by you or a nominated person. Pets are carried in the cargo hold, which is located underneath the passenger cabin. This hold is temperature controlled and provides a comfortable environment during flight. The hold is not lit, because experience shows that pets quickly settle down and travel better in the dark. Pets are not permitted in the passenger cabin.
Flexibility:
You can make a booking from two weeks before departure, subject to available capacity. Your pet can be checked in two and a half hours before the flight departure time, giving you plenty of time to board if you are on the same flight.
Reliable Service:
We ensure that your pet is well taken care
of - we give you advice on preparing for the journey to
ensure that your pet is as comfortable as possible
throughout its flight.
Convenient Network:
British Airways World Cargo gives you
access to the World's largest route network with nearly
200 destinations in over 80 countries.
Restrictions:
Flights operated by BA mainline and BA CitiExpress only.
For more information on shipping your Pets, contact your local British Airways World Cargo office.
