Preparing in advance will help make your flight safer
and more comfortable.

• Contact the airline you wish to fly well in advance - each has its own
  regulations and reservations for your pet will be necessary.
• Be sure to ask about the airline’s rules for pet crates or carriers.
  (Be sure it is strong, large enough for your cat to stand up and turn
  around, has a place for food and water, is well ventilated, has an
  absorbent-covered leak-proof bottom, and closes securely. Label it
  with “LIVE ANIMAL” and both local and travel contact information.)
• Try to book a direct flight or one with a minimum number of stops.
• The airline may allow your pet in the passenger cabin if your crate or
  carrier can fit under the seat in front of you. If your pet must travel in
  the cargo hold, be at the airport early, place your cat in the travel crate
  yourself and pick you cat up promptly when you land.
• Establish that your pet will be in a pressurized area of the plane - cargo
  holds can get very hot or very cold without environmental controls.
  Be sure that your destination isn’t too hot or cold for your pet.
• Most airlines hold the pet owner responsible for ensuring that the pet is
  healthy enough to fly.
• Your veterinarian can decide if your pet should be tranquilized.
