Relocation of Your Animal As Carry-On or Checked Baggage
There is 2 ways to relocate your pet : he can fly as carry-on or he can remain as checked baggage in the hold of the plane.
Either way, the conventionalities are pretty much the same for the transportation of your animal with some details different according to the height, the weight of your pet and the destination country.
There are 2 other facts that you have to hold in mind :
- The first one is that several countries do not accept the relocation of live animal with you in the plane.
- The second one is that your animal must be in a International Air Transport Association recognized cage if he fly as carry-on. If not, your pet will surely be unable to enter the plane. Additionally, the cage musn’t prevent your creature from moving freely.
