Good morning,
We are a "New Hire" family from the USA and our projected date to arrive in Dhahran is late July. Our options for flying into Dammam as I see it are either KLM or Lufthansa. Here is the problem. We have a dog who we plan to bring with us but KLM has a "pet embargo" in effect from May 15 - Sep 15 so we can not bring the dog on KLM either as checked luggage or cargo. My understanding is that this "pet embargo" policy during the summer is a recent development. Lufthansa will allow dogs but the flight from Germany to Dammam is flown by their Code share partner ( Privatair ), which does not allow dogs period.
Question: Does any one have any recent experience / success with bringing their pet over with them as checked luggage or as cargo after May 15? Does any one have any ideas / info about other airlines that fly directly into Dammam and will allow pets as checked luggage in late July? Any insight or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
