Unfortunately, British Airways does not allow animals to travel as checked baggage.

British Airways allows animals to travel as cargo in the hold. British Airways works with PetAir UK, which is owned by qualified veterinarians, to transport pets from UK airports. If you are traveling to the UK, your pet can travel with British Airways' sister company, IAG Cargo.

For pets being transported by IAG Cargo, carriers must be strong, secure and have proper ventilation. Your pet's nose and paws should not be able to fit through any ventilation opening or door mesh. The carrier must have water and food bowls secured to the inside. Pets must be able to stand and sit erect without touching the top of the kennel. Fiberboard, wire mesh and wicker containers are not suitable for air transportation. Cats departing from the USA and Canada must travel in a carrier with the dimensions 27" x 20" x 19" (68 cm x 50 cm x 48 cm). For all other countries and pets, the dimensions should be 21" x 16" x 15" (53 cm x 40 cm x 38 cm), as long as the animal fits comfortably inside.
