The organization of the transport of cats by plane and a trip in their company on this vehicle requires several months of preparation.

Before booking a flight with cats it is essential to inquire about the various conditions that this implies, to avoid running the risk of being at the airport and not being able to leave with the cats.

The first essential condition to be ascertained are the conditions in force by the chosen airline . Not all companies make it possible to bring the cat into the air by keeping it in the cabin: it is therefore necessary to make a thorough check to find an airline that allows it instead.
