Need Advice: Returning a dog from UK to USA

[tatarino]

I worked in Cardiff, Wales in the last 3.5 years, now returning to Los Angeles, CA. I need to bring my dog with me. What is the most cost-efficient way to do it? So far, I was getting quotes around 1700 pounds, that is way out of my budget.

Thanks a lot!

Both Delta and KLM serve Cardiff, and tell them you are traveling with your dog and ask if checked baggage service would be available. (I am assuming your dog is too big to travel in the cabin.) Otherwise, you may consider driving to Heathrow and catching a Virgin Atlantic flight to LAX. Many airlines including British Airways and United require an agent to process pets out of the UK, but VA does not.
