That makes sense. I travel to Europe 1-2 times a year generally and it's usually for 2+ weeks at a time. My Jack Russel is about to be 3 and I hate leaving him with my mom. He has a great time sure because he loves to hang out there but I do wish it was easier to travel with him. Would love to have him with me on some of those trips. I know I'm fortunate in that he's overall pretty small and just 12 or so pounds, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be nearly as expensive for me as others.There is no ban on dogs on those kindof journeys, but if you're looking to book your own flight specifically for the purposes of moving abroad with a dog that cannot fit in the hold (for example due to breathing issues) then that is going to set you back at least x30~ of the prices they list above.
For example; Pewdiepie chartered a flight to Tokyo from Stanstead and it cost at least £260,000 for him, his wife, and their two dogs.
These chartered routes mean that owners can pool together on pre-booked flights, thus lowering the costs for everyone involved.
