Traveling with pets to London? British Airways to go on strike starting next week

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 by Rachel Farris

If you are traveling with pets to London during the holidays, you'll want to avoid using pet friendly British Airways.  A strike of their cabin crew from this upcoming Tuesday through January 2nd means cancellations for the entire fleet.  The UK's Telegraph has more:

The vast majority of BA flights are likely simply to be cancelled - with passengers facing a fight to make alternative travel arrangements in time. British Airways said it would offer customers a full refund, or the opportunity to travel at a later date. It will not, however, offer to pay for passengers to travel on another carrier. And compensation will only be paid after it has been confirmed the flight has been cancelled - something that could be decided at a few days' notice.

So what to do if you need pet flying o the UK sometime in the next two weeks?  Continental is a great pet-friendly alternative offering pet flights to and from London but you'll want to book early -- space for pets is filling up fast because of BA's limitations.  Or feel free to give us a call (877-PET-MOVE) and we'll make sure your pets arrive safely in the UK in time for the holidays!
