Don't think dubai07 said anything about her cat being a Persian! She had just brought up an old thread I expect Rachel07 (who had the Persian) got her cat home last year :\:
It's considerably cheaper if the cat flies on the same flight as you do.
If you can't get through to Emirates try calling BA or Virgin or any other airline that flies to the UK from here.
Hi,
you wont get anywhere with Emirates - they dont fly persians. I flew 2 persians back to the UK in 2005 using Dubai Kennels and Cattery and it cost just over 9000 dhs using BA to Heathrow. The flights for the cats were more than the flights for the kids!
Has anyone got any further details on this? We need to move our cat from Dubai to the UK in September but Emirates keep hanging up on me... the usual of putting on hold and then you get disconnected. I found a really useful (alebit c. 2007) thread on this a few days ago giving all the details but cannot find it now. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.
