Question 1

Why would I choose Orly over CDG for an onward flight with my pet?

Accepted Answer

Orly is closer to the motorways south and many short- and medium-haul carriers to southern Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa operate pet-friendly cargo from Orly with simpler terminal layouts and shorter queues than CDG.

Question 2

How much earlier than my flight should I arrive at Orly?

Accepted Answer

For pets travelling in airline cargo, plan to arrive at Orly 3-4 hours before your flight check-in deadline. We time the London pickup to fit this window, including the Eurotunnel crossing and the drive south from Calais.

Question 3

Can you collect from outside London at the £755 rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes - same flat £755 fare applies from anywhere in Greater London and the M25 area. Collections further afield may add a small distance supplement, which we confirm before you book.

Question 4

Do you wait at Orly to confirm the pet is checked in?

Accepted Answer

Yes - the driver waits at the airline cargo terminal until your pet is formally accepted by the airline. This adds 30-60 minutes typically and is included at no extra charge.
