- When traveling with pets, make sure your pet is healthy and doesn’t have any special condition. Always tell the airline when booking if you’re traveling with pets so they can look after them.
- When booking a flight with your pet, try to book a direct flight, if possible. Otherwise, allow at least two hours between the flights. Make sure your pet’s last food is six hours before the flight and to take it for a long walk, so they rest in the container.
- With regards of the pet container for your pet, it should be well ventilated, solid and of very good quality, so your pet can feel comfortable and safe during the flight. If you want your pet to feel even more comfortable, you should make your pet get used to the container at home and before flying put its favorite blanket and toy inside the container.
