International Pet Transportation
There are several ways your pets can travel with you internationally from one destination to the other. The first, and most common way, is in a special crate, checked in as luggage and placed at the bottom of the plane. For pets that are less than 25lbs (most airlines), then you can consider taking your dog or cat with you in the cabin. You’ll need an appropriate carrier for both; that means the pet carrier must meet the airline’s requirements for size, weight, and exterior material. These are the most common ways to bring your dog or cat along for international pet travel and consequently the cheapest. When you bring your pet along with you they are considered ‘luggage’ by the airline and charge you special rates around $200 for a single flight. It will also give you more peace of mind as you can see your pets immediately after landing, which reduces stress for you and your pets as well. When flying domestically you should see if Pet Airways flies anywhere along your route, it’s a great pet travel alternative.
