The complainant said this created a range for the consumer that costs for pet travel within Europe would be between those two figures. It added: “A €40 fee per flight, per crate applies. At this time you will be advised of all restricted breeds for travel on an Aer Lingus regional flight. Note: If you didn’t book online, please contact us in order to book an animal in advance.”
Finally, the complainant said the four freight forwarders she contacted advised her that Aer Lingus doesn’t carry pets on weekends and that it doesn’t fly pets to her destination. Related Read 07.03.19 Irish influencers 'must have evidence' to back up their Instagram claims about wellness products
Planes are for people. The price for bringing a pet onto a plane should be €0.00 because airlines should prohibit pets on their aircraft.
