Is there a fund for Ally's transportation?

I have no clue.. I think we're all waiting for Julie to respond with the answers as best she knows them. I know she's having internet issues right now, so it may be a few days.

If she's traveling British Airways, like Connor did, here is there page about animal transport...

Posted this to the other thread as well...

Ok, so apparently to get info on rates on animal transport one must call the British Airways office in London, or in Bahrain itself. I have the number for the animal cargo office in London, but can't call it at the moment.

Is there anyone on here from England who could call and ask how much it would cost from Bahrain to NY or Washing DC, or even Philadelphia??
The number there (if dailing from US) 01144-8457-222-777 He said it is option 2 after that (he thinks, anyway).

I just heard from Julie about the cost to ship Connor to the states. This is going to take a good bit of fundraising. I hope we can raise a decent amount to offset the cost!

Hi Jennie,

When I shipped Connor is cost around $1200 excluding the cost of a crate, as I already had one....

I have a friend in Bahrain calling the airlines there for me - so hopefully I will finaliase the cost, date and route soon!

Thanks

Julie

Here's a thought that my assistant at work asked:

Would it matter if someone was flying from Bahrain to the US and we just bought an extra seat instead of paying for the Cargo shipping?? I don't trust putting an animal in the cargo hold, it gets really cold, and most airlines don't guarantee that your pet will come out safe. Can they actually purchase a seat and then put the cat in a carrier next to them???

not sure but when we flew to Italy Vixen had to be under the seat. And she had to be accompanied. I think it would depend on the airline.

It would be nice if there would be someone traveling at that same time to the States... I wonder if she knows anyone who is doing that??

It would depend on the carrier and you don't usually have to buy the additional seat because Ally would just go under whoever is bringing her to the US. Some carriers do not allow any animals (except for service animals) on the flights.

We're still working on this!
