Hi Lena, Welcome to Catsey!!! I have the same carrier that Fran has linked to above and would definitely recommend it - it's fantastic!!! and approved by airlines. As for flying with cats................I lived in Australia for a while and had one of my cats whilst I was there and she flew back with me. She was totally fine. There was a lot of paperwork and requirements beforehand (i.e. rabies jab and rabies blood test) and I actually got a pet travel agent to help me in the end. As for the actual flight though - she was fine. You couldn't really get a longer flight either!! She stopped in Singapore for water, but stayed in her carrier. She didn't have any food for a few hours before the flight and wasn't sedated (I don't agree that sedation is a good idea). She was looking quite frightened when I went to collect her at the Animal Reception Area at Heathrow, but settled down really quickly and I don't think it affected her at all really. I hope that has helped. Feel free to ask anything that I have forgotten. |

Welcome!! Plan well in advance. Your kitten has to be old enough for the injections and then it's a six month wait until you may travel... Also get in touch with the airline you're flying with to check if they have any special demands. |

Check out your airlines too. Last time I did any research on this, only KLM and Air Canada allow small pets in the cabin - others make them go in the hold. I wouldn't want my pet to be separated from me for scary events like air travel ..... Good luck |

They also advised me not to go on the same flight as her, as I would be worried all the way and panic at the slightest turbulance etc, so I took that advice and we flew home separately. It worked for us though!!! |
