Continental Airlines (CO) is the first U.S. airline to be approved under the United Kingdom's "Pet Travel Scheme" (PETS), which eliminates the usual six-month quarantine for cats, dogs and ferrets traveling to Manchester, England, and was also the first U.S. carrier approved for both London and Bristol, and currently has more long-haul route authorities under the UK’s Pet Scheme than any other U.S. carrier.
Continental customers whose pets meet guidelines established by Great Britain's Dept. for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs may travel with their animals on Continental flights to Manchester without the pet being quarantined. Before finalizing travel plans, customers should get further information on Britain's PETS program at Britain's PETS program. Continental serves London Heathrow from its hub in New York/ Newark (EWR) and Houston, Texas (IAH) as well as Manchester and Bristol from its hub in Newark (EWR).
Continental's official agent at London's Heathrow airport, Manchester Airport and at Bristol Airport for clearing and processing live animals is PBS International Freight Forwarders Ltd. After confirming a booking for your pet, customers must contact PBS directly to plan for the arrival of their pet and to ensure that all necessary paperwork is completed in advance for the UK Customs clearance of your animal.
