Travelling to P-O with cat
Posted: Tue 07 May 2019 18:26
Hi. I seek advice on getting a cat from UK (Midlands) with cat.
Please Exclude advice on vaccinations and passports. We and our vet will deal with whatever piece of guesswork applies when we do it, if !
I mean the real practicalities Car/Train/Plane /Post ?
CAR:
She is happy in short journeys in the car when free to sniff and look, but 3 days (2 overnight stops?). All possible but advice on cat cage/transporter and friendly hotels on the route would be welcome.
TRAIN:
Apparently it is free but all trains to Perpignan from the North now seem to change in Paris. The old change at Lille was good.
I know that they are not allowed on Eurostar so I am looking for easy route from anywhere within 1 hr of coast.
PLANE:
I cannot find a significant air carrier from UK to P-O though may consider Barcelona if necessary.
Thanks in advance.
