Yep flying dogs Cargo very dear.
Lat year I travelled to Finland with my bitch as it was cheaper for the outward journey for both of us to travel (my return ticket and excess baggage), but the Pets Passport rules insist they come into UK Cargo and that was the largest part of the bill, £1200 altogether, gulp.
They charge you for the cubic weight or the actual weight whichever is more and of course the container volume includes air and free space so to be honest your paying for a lot heavier than the dog and crate.
