Traveling by plane

Traveling by plane

Air travels require much more planning than traveling by a normal car. Make sure all your cat’s vaccinations are up to date and you know all the airlines regulations in your country.

Preparing for take-off

If you’re taking your kitty on a plane, be fully prepared. Many necessities for air travel can be addressed long before you leave the ground and you should get these preparations underway seven to eight months prior to travel.

Contact your vet , as the country you are going to may need specific vaccinations or certificates.So try to collect the right information about new country.

Here are some useful  tips to ensure you and your cat get to your destination safely without any problem :

•    When you book your ticket, make sure the airline knows you want to bring your cat and ask for their advice and rules.
•    Familiarize yourself with airline regulations, for example, if your kitty needs to be put in a secure, airline-approved crate.  
•   Double-check airline policies and rules, which may vary from company to company. Document all conversations.  
•   For the flight, put a small luggage tag on your cat's collar with details of where you’ll be staying at your destination in new county.
•  Make sure that the information on your little friend’s  ticket is exactly the same as the information on your ticket.
•  Include a food and water pack with the carrier for your cat.  
•   Attach a feeding schedule for a day and other significant details to your cat’s travel carrier in case your pet gets lost.
