In any case, we recommend that you call the airline to find out all the requirements relating to the transport of dogs and thus avoid unpleasant surprises at the airport.Best airline for a Bull Terrier – Which companies are the cheapest?
Dog transportation is rarely included in the free baggage allowance of your ticket. Generally, there are additional fees that vary depending on the mode of travel of your Bull Terrier (in the cargo or cabin) and the trip (small, medium or long distance). This price is different for each company and each destination because each company has its own pricing policy. Therefore, prices can vary up to double (see below).Comparative table of the main airline companies
