Further to my earlier post on this, with TUI it cost about £175 for both our two cats with TUI last April 2019. We took them in a taxi from Weymouth at midnight to Gatwick and were at our rented apartment by midday next day in Mar de Cristal via Alicante. 12 hours total journey. Job done.

I liked the fact that my dog was used to travelling in a car and wouldn't put my dog on an aeroplane as she would have been petrified on her own, plus the fact that dogs can't sit on kitty litter like cats will, so my dog had human company on the whole journey, wasn't stressed and could generally...

... go outside to do her business, it was an adventure for her. 

Money and time wasn't the object, stress free and human company was my priority, as she was a very, very nervous rescue, so I did what was best for her at the time and she loved the driver too, as he could talk to her from the front and put radio on, so that's why I used road transport.

That’s fine I suppose for dogs. I’ve had cats and dogs all my life. Problem is you can’t just sit a cat on a seat in a car, neither can you let it out for a toilet break say in the middle of France!! Just thought was helping with the airline information 😁

Yes i think cats are a 1/3 of the price of a medium dog. Sounds like cats travel best by plane and dogs by car.

The Dutch guy we rented from when we first got here has a small dog and takes her with him backwards and forwards on the plane between Spain and Holland on a regular basis (normally). But bigger dogs are a different matter of course.

Try going onto the Preguntas y Mas Facebook page and ask there. 

You can also look on Facebook for a guy called Edward Carmichael, he transports dogs by van from UK to Spain sometimes twice a week.

I used him and someone else many times to and from UK and Spain, the dog was well looked after, taken for regular pee breaks and fed enroute with the food I gave him when he picked her up. 

The father and son run the journeys and swap vans halfway, so they can complete the journey in the shortest time and pick up from anywhere in UK, they picked up my dog from camposol and brought her to North Wales and vice versa, for £200 or €200 per trip, they're very good with the dogs and mine didn't mind her journey at all, I'd pop her into van with her food bag and own bed, into one of their fixed crates, they'd drive off, I'd catch a plane the next morning and my dog would be with me the following day, they will also carry furniture etc for people if their van isn't full, they bought a load of tools over that I needed one time, they're extremely flexible and very nice people, so check them out :) 

Ps, there is also Paws Pet Travel but I've never used them. Best to ask on Preguntas y Mas for people who have used these services.
