Thanks Terry I've already read those. If we use AM we'd have to send the dogs as cargo as the only way they can enter UK via air. I'm hoping someone has practical experience of BA/IAG. The issue being is there are no IAG agents in Malta ... Read More

I know this post is old but did you have any luck Amy? We're looking to relocate and ideally we'd use BA to take our two guys with us but like you say there seem to be no BA/IAG agents in Malta. And just because BA like to make things hard ... Read More
