There are many routes from the UK that are only served directly by BA, such as Bermuda from Gatwick or Nassau from Heathrow, so this can make the choice of airline easy.
The Gatwick animal reception centre is a brilliant facility where pets are only ever handled by ‘animal people’ and luckily BA use this for all pet shipments. At Heathrow, the pets are delivered directly to the BA Cargo facility where they are held in their own animal room in the cargo warehouse before being taken directly to the aircraft by British Airways staff.
British airways will not carry Bulldogs of any type, Pugs or Pekingese, but do carry most other breeds. Bullmastiffs, Boxers, Boston Terriers, Shih Tzus and other breeds with flatter faces must travel in a kennel 10% larger than would be normal for their size to increase ventilation. They will carry cats like Persians, Himalayans and Exotics using these bigger crate rulings. Fetchapet travel crates are generous anyway, so these restrictions don’t really affect us.
BA will only tranship onto an onwards flight in certain Caribbean destinations, so we only normally use them for direct flights.
