You are preparing for an air journey, and your live animal (cat, dog, bird...) may need to travel with you. There are certain procedures for live animals to fly with you. Knowing these procedures will make your journey easier and more understandable.
How to Transport Live Animals on a Plane?
Service dogs for the visually impaired are transported inside the cabin on air journeys. Pets such as cats, small dogs, and birds can be transported in a cage under your seat in the cabin. However, some airlines may have different practices in this regard, so it would be better for you to find out before your trip.
Other animals are transported in the cargo hold. The names, destinations, and care information of the owners of animals transported in the cargo hold are written on the cage. The pressure and temperature in the cargo hold where animals are transported are adjusted appropriately for flight. Live animals are not transported to some countries due to their health regulations. Live animal transport is not permitted to countries such as Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. If your flight route includes these countries, you cannot bring your live animal with you during the flight.
