I brought my dog out from the uk last October and had no problems. We used Qatar Airways as they are the only direct flight, it cost 1,700 pounds. The flight crate was quite cheap, I can't remember where I got it but Darren at Harnwick Freight gave me their number and organised the flight. The crate was 130 pounds for the largest size. The customs men were not overjoyed to see him arrive and I am so glad that we used Doha Vet meet and greet service, an arabic speaker is a must. I didn't know then about Qatar Pet Relocators, everyone says they offer a great service. Just make sure you have loads of photocopies of everything, especially rabies blood test. He seems happy enough here and has adjusted to the climate well. I don't live in Doha so not sure about how it is. Hope that helps
