r/pettravel

Hi! So long story short I have 3 cats(12,14,14lbs) I’m traveling from WA state to Texas state.

Aside from driving what’s the best airline and way to get my kitties across state as stress free and safely as possible???

I plan on flying I might be alone or it might be myself and one other person. I don’t want put any of them in cargo since I’ve heard horror stories but I could really use any tips/ advice! Thanks!

I will be moving this fall to Japan with my 3 cats, but I’m having trouble finding info about flying them in cabin. If anyone has done this could they please point me in the right direction? I know about the USDA certificate and the FAVN quarantine, and contacting Japan to let them know I’m bringing them in.

I am relocating to India and will carry my pet along with me. Since I am relocating permanently, I don't need to get a DGFT license.

Quesstion is -

  1. When can I apply for an NOC from India? Since part of the document is the submission of a health certificate stamped by the USDA. This can only be done within 7 days of travel. So should I apply for NOC within 7 days of travel, or after I get a stamped health certificate?

  2. If I apply for NOC within 7 days, will I get approved? Can I get the USDA stamped anytime and apply for the NOC anytime?

Can someone help with timeline?

Experience with pet travel with Korea air?

Hi there everyone! I just wanted to get any experiences/ suggestions for anyone who’s flown Korea air with their pet. I’m flying with my dog in a month and the biggest thing I’m concerned about is her carrier and her weight.

Her carrier is the medium everyday Sherpa carrier and the dimensions fit except the height (it’s 0.5inches too tall). Would they deny boarding for that? Additionally my pup weighs 7.03kg in the carrier. How strict are they with the weight?

Would love to hear any travel experiences from pet parents! Thank you

Anyone fly Alaska Airlines from Hawaii to Seattle with 2 dogs in cabin?

Has anyone flown Alaska Airlines from Hawaii to Seattle with two dogs in cabin?
I’m moving from Honolulu to Kansas in July and will be flying Alaska with a layover in Seattle. I have two small dogs and I’m super anxious about the in-cabin pet process.
Mainly wondering:
how strict they were about carrier size/fit
whether they actually made your dogs turn around inside the carrier
how check-in at HNL went
if TSA or gate agents gave you any issues
how the Seattle layover was with dogs
One of my dogs fits pretty comfortably, but my other is more long-legged/slightly taller so I’m nervous about getting denied at the airport.
Would love to hear anyone’s experience flying this route with pets

experience travelling with Turkish Airlines from Canada?

Hi there.

Writing this post in tears so would greatly appreciate any help.

I recently booked a flight with Etihad airways but my cat was denied on the flight bc she got her rabies vaccine before she got her microchip. Our tickets are non refundable so we’ll need to leave her at our home here in Canada for about 20 days before we can come back and try again to take her in July.

We‘re going to try Turkish Airlines next time and I was wondering if anyone has any experience flying with Turkish from Canada and info on everything required?

I‘m going to her the rabies vaccine again and will do the whole import export process again but I was wondering if Turkish had any other specific requirements that are not listed on their website? This is what happened for us with Etihad (info not specified on their website and us being denied two days before our flight :/)

Sorry for the long post but would greatly appreciate some help.

For context, we would be flying from Toronto to Kuwait or Saudi Arabia depending on the air space opening up in Kuwait.

Some other specific questions as well if anyone knows:

  1. Does Turkish Airways require the rabies titer test if our destination country doesn’t require it?

  2. Is a pet passport required in this case since we are not going into Turkey?

Thanks!
