Find Pet Friendly Airlines Online

The Humane Society of the United States recommends that you do not transport your pet by air unless absolutely necessary as it can be stressful for your animals health and well being. If you must transport your pets or animals by air, your first decision is whether you can take your loving pet in the aircraft cabin with you, which is always the best option. If your pet is a cat or small dog then in most cases the airlines will allow you to take the animal on board for an additional transport fee.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allows each individual airline to decide if they will allow you to travel with your pets in the passenger cabin of the airplae and under what conditions they will or will not allow someone to travel with a pet. If a commercial airline does allow you to bring your pet into the cabin, your airline certified pet container is legally considered to be carry-on baggage. Your pets airline container must be small enough to fit underneath the seat (generally about 10x15x20 inches and weighing less than 40 pounds). To find out about this option, call the airline well in advance of your scheduled flight, because there are limits to the number of animals allowed in the cabin area for each flight.

Another option available for pet owners not willing to brave the experience of flying commercially with an animal companion is flying on a chartered plane. Many charter services allow pets or animals, regardless of the animals size, to fly in the cabin as passengers close to their respective owners in a safer and more controlled environment that will be less stressful on the animal and pet owner.

Always verify with the airlines your flight plans when travelling with pets and be sure that your pet is ready at the time of the flight by scheduling feeding times and play times before and after the flight travel times. Take a few precautionary steps and make the next trip with your animal the best one ever.

Hire the best Pet Movers and Relocation Services

Q. Can I move my pet myself?
A. In most instances you can certainly move your pet yourself or with the help of your household movers. This is especially for domestic moving services with local moving companies. When moving to many foreign countries, most notably South Africa, Australia and England, we do highly  recommend using a pet relocation service as any errors can seriously affect your pet’s time in quarantine.

Q. Is using a pet relocation specialist cheaper?
A. No. It would be unusual to find a pet relocation service that would be less expensive that doing it yourself but pet movers offer a higher level of service for your pets.

Q. Do you use your own airplanes?
A. No. Most pet relocation services use the commercial airlines. At present there are no pet only airlines regardless of advertising claims.

Q. Is it really safe to fly my pet?
A. Yes. With proper diligence and common sense, relocating your pet by air transport services is actually much safer than a long road trip in the back of a moving truck or van filled with other animals and pets.

Q. Where in the plane does my pet fly?
A. All pets flown as excess baggage or as cargo fly in the cargo hold of the transport plane. This area is heated and cooled and is also pressurized for safety and comfort of your pets and loved ones. It is the same air you are breathing when you fly in the cabin and totally safe for animals and humans alike.

Q. Should I give my pet a sedative?
A. No, no and no. Sedatives suppress the respiratory system of the pets and often cause disorientation and will make your pets worry even more. Several airlines will not accept your pet if they are sedated nor will most quality transport servvices. Leave your pets awake and aware in the good hands of your local pet movers.

Q. What can I do to prepare my pet for travel?
A. The best thing a pet owner can do to acclimate your favorite pet for his upcoming move is to make sure he is comfortable with his crate. Start by putting treats in the crate and then progress to leaving your pet in the crate for short periods of time while you are out. This will help avoid separation anxiety and ensure a comfortable move.

Follow these guidelines for pet moving and relocation and help make this an easy move on your favorite pets. Trust is important and making sure you understand your  pets needs and conveying that message to the pet movers will make things easier for your friends and the movers.

Luckily the animal was rescued and never shipped further than the local processing center but can one imagine what that poor puppy felt like all alone in a a dark shipping box?
