1. Reservation Required: When making your own airline reservation, be sure to also make a reservation for your pet. Typically, only 2 pets are allowed in the cabin per flight. Pets are not permitted in the cabin on international flights, or flights to Hawaii. 2. Pet's Don't Fly Free: In-cabin fees are typically $75 and up per pet each way. 3. Approved Pet Carrier: Typical dimensions are: 17"L X 12.5"W X 8"H; pet + carrier can typically weigh no more than 20 pounds. Fabric carriers are a great choice for in-cabin travel, since their shape is somewhat flexible. 4. Health Certificate: Most states and airlines require a health certificate issued within 10 to 30 days of travel by an accredited veterinarian, who must physically examine the animal. Contact your airline and destination state for specific requirements. 5. Vaccinations: Rules vary in different states as well as airlines, but a current rabies vaccine is usually required. The health certificate will typically list recent vaccinations. 6. Water, Food, Snacks: All of their favorite goodies are fine to bring on flights, but sometimes stress will suppress a pet’s appetite. But water is key; especially because air travel is dehydrating. Bring a collapsible travel bowl so you can offer your pet water. 7. Anxiety/Stress Remedies: There are many excellent holistic products that can help relax your anxious pet, such as pheromones, flower essences, herbs, and homeopathic remedies.
