Airplanes and Pets: A guide on how to do it
I don’t own a pet, but if I did this guide would be way useful. It breaks down in airline-by-airline detail the nuances of flying-with-pet rules and fees. It lists the steps necessary to get your pet out and in the airplane:
- Determine if your pet is able to travel
- Determine which airlines will allow your pet aboard
- Reserve a flight for yourself and your pet
- Find a traveling crate or carrier for your pet
- Prepare the crate for your pet
- Prepare your pet for the flight
- Bring your pet to the airport
And takeoff. Check out the how-to article here: How To Fly With Pets
