Pets Arriving At Dalaman Airport
« on: April 02, 2010, 10:02:43 AM »
Does anyone know what is the latest time of day for arriving at Dalaman Airport with pets?  We have heard of pets being stranded at the airport because the staff have gone off duty and the pet owners could not take their pets away from the airport until the next day. This resulted in the pets being left in their crates overnight.

Our dog came off with our luggage on a separate trolley from the carousel. If the staff were off duty who would unload your luggage?

We understood it was the staff who check pets into Turkey at the airport that went off duty, not the staff unloading luggage.  The pets had already been unloaded, but could not be released to their owner.

I wouldn't worry too much about that, it sounds to me like another urban expat myth  :)

No one worries here about pets coming in from UK - we came overland and when the guy inspected the car he didnt even mention the 2 cats we brought with us. Everything I have heard from people flying their animals in is that Dalaman are very helpful in getting the animals through to you immediately you have cleared to the baggage hall.

I personally do not know of anyone who has had a pet held up at the airport.

We brought our dog and cat to Turkey over eight years ago.  Went to collect our luggage and there the animals' containers were - going round and round on the carousel!

Perhaps it's different nowadays.
