Cannot bear to hand over the family pet in a shelter and do not want your trusted companion stuck in commercial's cargo area? No need to worry. One benefit of private jet travel is the opportunity to take the pride and cheer of the family with you in the main cabin.
Regardless of the fact that pets are normally considered members of the family, the FAA classifies pets as luggage. Mostly this means they must be properly shielded, most commonly in an animal carrier, during takeoff and landing for the safety to themselves and others. International travel poses increased procedures and restrictions, and these may differ from one country to another.
Before booking your flight, warn your charter controller if you like to travel with your pet. They can see if there are any rules or requirements and make sure that the jet can make room for your pet.
Some Favorable Tips:
- If using a travel carrier for the first time, allow your pet at least a month prior to your flight to become knowledgeable with the carrier to limit his or her stress during travel.
- Talk with your veterinarian relative to medical tranquilizers if you are considering sedating your pet while traveling. Be sure to indicate it is for air travel.
- Take along a consent of your pets immunization (to demonstrate a clean bill of health).
