Note: some routes incur a higher charge than others due to the way the pets are loaded on certain aircraft sizes, also some indirect routes incur a transit care charge. For both cats and dogs the prices vary according to the size of the pet and therefore the size of the travel kennel. There are many variables that can have a direct impact on the costs for pet travel.

How Much Is Pet Shipping?
The cost of shipping a pet by air will very much depend on its size. As a general rule, it will cost more to ship larger pets than it will smaller pets, as they will take up more space in the cargo hold due to their need for a larger travel crate.
Another important factor when determining the cost of flying your pet abroad from the UK is the destination you’re flying them to.
Some countries will cost considerably more than others, and that’s why the above pet shipping cost chart should only be taken as ballpark figures.
