Petition Details

We would like to be able to fly with our pet but not at a cost of over a 1000 pounds for a return flight

Additional Information

Defra dictate that pets can not fly in the aircraft cabin,where as our neighbours in France, Germany, Belgium and so on do allow pets in the cabin for approximately between 20€ and 45€. Why is this?

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

All e-petitions must call for a specific action from the UK Government or the House of Commons.  If an e-petition does not include a clear statement explaining what action you want the Government or the House to take, it will be rejected. 

We think that you are asking for the Government to relax the rules prohibiting pets from travelling in aircraft cabins, but this is not clear from the text of the petition as drafted here.

If you would like to redraft and resubmit your petition it will be reconsidered.
