But it seems like you can only do this if you book the dog as cargo rather than checked-in baggage. Even though they are the same plane from the country I'm travelling from. This really increases the cost. Does anyone have any other information about when the embargo might end or if there are any ways around this situation?
Route and breed (or size and weight) of dog?
