We are also taking our dog Rory and would like to know if your dog was ok in Turkey on your arrival - i have to admit I am worried about him on the plane, never done anything like this before. Did you keep the crate? we are not sure what to do with it because it will be too big to put in the car on our arrival. We have a big dog ( labradoodle ). We will live near the Calis Market- wishing you well and maybe we will meet soon. Glad to hear Oscar is happy.
Hi Jenny,
On arrival to Antalya we waited at baggage reclaim for our bags and just next to that the door marked oversized parcels, we waited here and sure enough Oscar was pushed through the doorway, he was so pleased to see us and likewise we were to see him, we had a bit of a scare 48 hours before flying so was a great relief to have finally landed and that he was ok, he also had never flown and we have never done anything like this before. The oher passengers were mostly surprised to see a large dog arrive and the children around thought he was lovely, there was one woman however that as he was pushed through the door i heared her say " as if theres not enough in the country"
[
!] oh god i wish i could turn the clock back now she would get both barrels!
Anyway we loaded him in his kennel onto a trolley and proceeded through customs, 3 customs men all looked as we whent past but we were not stopped or questioned at all. We met with our friend outside the airport and loaded the car, the kennel if it is the same as ours splits into 2, as in the top comes off the bottom and fits in each other, and yes it's yours to keep as you have paid fr it.
I hope all goes well with your trip and your dog arrives as safely and happy as Oscar did, it would be great to meet up once you have settled we are very close to you it would seem, we're very near Aydin Pide.
If there is anything you want to ask before your trip or after please contact me and will help if I can.
All the best,
Mark.
