alexist at 04:58pm on 11/10/2004I just got off the phone with Virgin Atlantic Cargo about shipping Zoe the Wonder Feline.
Outcome: it was a Bad Thing that I booked my flights, because i booked the 23:10 on Sunday. Virgin only ship pets on VS004, the 19:30, Monday to Friday. They have to confirm that the Monday flight is available.
Costs: $11/kg (carrier and cat), plus handling of $125 (includes having cage sealed by vet--no longer required by DEFRA but required by Virgin), with a minimum charge of $225. At Heathrow, I will then be charged £215 by the British government.
Zoe and I must be at the Virgin cargo building by 15:00 the day of the flight. Paperwork will take at least 1 hour.
They're e-mailing me all the paperwork.
Zoe, you are one expensive moggy.
