Checking the airline's website about traveling in the cabin with your pet is good solid advice. I have flown internationally with my Yorkie, and this saved me a lot of headaches! Keep in mind too that if your pet barks, you could be asked to get off the plane! Take along some soft chewy treats to keep your pet calm. Also, get your pet accustomed to the bag he/she travels in way before it's time to go! Some airlines are extremely sensitive about dogs in the cabin. Try to follow their rules by-the-letter, including required paperwork. My vet said that even flying from state-to-state there can be different rules for air travel with pets. It is advisable to see the vet and get everything in order within the required time frame. It can be costly, but if you want your pet flying with you, you'll have to consider the cost as part of your peace of mind. We traveled to Africa (over 30 hours travel time) and Anna was an angel. Some of the airlines weren't! But we managed to get there and back. I hope you and your pet have a great trip!! |
