How can I travel with my pet on a plane?

There are several airlines that allow flying with a pet onboard. It is up to each airplane to establish regulations and additional tariffs. Therefore we advise you to get in contact with the specific airline you plan on using.

The general rule is that pets (together with their crate) which remain below a certain weight may be carried in the cabin, whereas pets exceeding such threshold weight must be carried in the cargo area.

What's required to keep the pet in a given country?

Currently, there are no restrictions. Once you cross the country with your pet and check with a vet regarding the vaccinations/documents, there are no more things to do.
