Flying with a pet?
We are planning to do across country for 3 weeks this summer for vacation and want to take our cat with us because he needs a lot of attention and it's hard to find someone to watch him for a few days let alone a few weeks. I saw that Southwest lets you bring pets onboard in their carriers now. Has anyone done this with a cat? Do you have to keep the carrier under the seat the entire way? Can you take them out of it at all? How did your cat do with a long flight? What do you do about them going to the bathroom? Is it better to do one longer direct flight or split it up with a layover? Will they let you take them outside at all if you have a layover? Thanks!
Re: Flying with a pet?
Check with your airline's online pet policy info. It will spell out for you what to expect and what you can and cannot do.
Also, you should look that up at the TSA's website too.
Unless you have a service animal, it is pretty much against airline policies and probably federal law to have an animal out of its crate on board an airplane. The airline's first priority is safety, then comfort. An animal getting loose could jeopardize safety, so they will probably ask you to leave your pet crated. If you don't follow the rules, you will have flight attendants very angry with you...and then the pilots can ask you to leave a flight (if you have not yet let the gate). Not complying with air crew directions in flight can be cause for arrest once you land.
Most jets also have heated cargo bays on board, so you can check your pet too.
I would recommend making sure to have documentation that your cat is current on all of it's shots.
