We'll be flying American Airlines and her "seat" has already been reserved. We've got an Alex Quigy Bo bag so she's all set for the flight. Now on to my question: AA does not require a health certificate. I've tried looking online through the FAA website and as far as I've found they don't say they require a health certificate. I had been planning on getting a health certificate but now I'm not sure if it's needed. Our vet will charge us a total of $75 for a vet visit and health certificate fee. While I want to be prepared I don't want to spend money that just doesn't need to be spent. (Zoe had health problems this year and she's racked over $700 in vet bills so far. I'm trying to cut back wherever I can.) Does anyone have anything that shows a health certificate is required by the FAA? |
I have only been asked to present a health certificate 1 out of 20 times. It is a good thing to have incase you need to switch airlines. I'm really shocked your vet is charging $75. I would ask your vet for a updated print out of vaccines your baby had and carry that with you and make sure it includes the rabies vac.
