Passengers which wish to travel with their pets will have to dispatch them as accompanied baggage, subject to availability in the hold and under the conditions which are described in this section. We remind you that the booking of the place in the hold must be accomplished up to 48 hours before departure of the flight.Due to the diversity in aircraft hold conditions for the safe transport of an animal, it is advised that a reservation to transport pets is done on a conditional basis. The reservation does not guarantee the passenger that his/her pet will travel on the same flight. In such event the pet remains under the passenger’s responsibility, not the airline.
If the pet travels alone (without the passenger, as not accompanied baggage), it will be dispatched as cargo, fulfilling with the same conditions, but channelling all through the section CARGO

According to a governmental disposition for the rabies control, we remind you that the United Kingdom does not permit the entry of pets (dogs, cats) as accompanied baggage from Argentina. It is only permitted its entry as cargo.
Important
Nowadays, Aerolíneas Argentinas does not operate with its own aircrafts with final destination in London (LGW). This is the reason why it is not viable the transportation of animals that are alive and of the perishable articles as cargo due to operative reasons and due to the risk you run as consequence of the time of delay that implies the being in transit in the intermediate stop.
Nevertheless, as general information, the requisites for the entry of animals to the United Kingdom are the following:
- Pets must be transported in the hold of the plane, in a comfortable container, with water and bringing the corresponding documentation in a box
- Veterinarian Certificate and good health.
- A blood test with 6 months in advance before the departing date.
- Certificate of importation to the United Kingdom. To perform its proceeding you will have to ask the Embassy.
- The pet will be at least 6 months in quarantine, with a charge that will pay the passenger. The lodging will have to be confirmed before arriving to the United Kingdom.
