Question
QUESTION: I have a pug that is not allowed on planes. I want to go back to the UK with her.
How do I go about this regarding the cheapest cruise line?
I live in San Diego.

ANSWER: I assume you have met the entry requirements for the UK?
Pugs are allowed on most airlines.
You may need a flight to the European continent, by using Lufthansa, KLM, Air France for
instance.  They all take pugs.  You can take the dog as excess baggage this way.
Then you can further travel to UK by any number of ways
Cruise lines are NOT your answer.
Only the Cunnard line will take pets and they are way back logged.  They have Queen Mary and
Queen Elizabeth.  Don't plan on this.

QUESTION: I'm sorry but most airlines DO NOT take pugs. i have checked as they are brachiosaphallyic dogs and have breathing problems.
If you know of any airlines that fly out of San Diego or L.A to Manchest/London that do please let me know because I don't.

Either as cargo or hand luggage. Only certain airlines are registered to fly pets.

No as soon as I find one then i will start on the pet Passport Program because the vets need a booked ticket date to start.

Thanks. I'm desperate to find this out.

Answer
Dear Cal
Please call me at  888.234.5028    You are obviously getting bad info.  Most airlines do carry
pugs.  The vets do NOT need a booked ticket to start the pet passport program.
I've been doing this for 40 yrs and have some idea what I am doing......
You will have a problem with Continental and British Air to UK   This is why I suggest going
via europe continent.  Believe me... Please call
