OK, I'm bringing my dog from UK to HK. Doing it myself to help cut costs.
Does anyone know (or have experience) approximately how long it takes from a dog's plane to land to it being released through customs?
I've phoned HK airport's cargo terminal, and vaguely they said it takes approx one hour for the dog to get from the plane to the cargo terminal, then another hour or so for it to be released. Does this sound about right?
My problem is that the dog and I have to take separate flights. The missus and I had already booked with Cathays Pacific, but then found out that they don't take my breed of dogs, so I've had to book him into an earlier BA flight that arrives 2 hours before I do.
I've also been told that the cargo terminal have holding facilities for dogs for a couple of hours, this also right?
