There are primarily two methods of transporting pets by air: in-cabin or in the hold of the aircraft. Having pets travel in the passenger cabin is a convenient and reassuring option for pet owners who want to keep their furry companions close during the journey. However, this is only an option for small dogs and cats who can fit under the seat in front in an airline-approved pet carrier and is not available on all airlines. Most airlines will also allow service dogs in-cabin where they are trained to perform a specific task related to a health condition or disability (such as hearing dogs or medical response dogs).
While many owners are understandably apprehensive about their beloved animals travelling in the hold, this mode of travel is an overwhelmingly safe and comfortable experience for pets. Strict international protocols are upheld for the safe transport of pets and animals. This includes travelling in a spacious sky kennel with room to turn around and lie down in, and boarding pets into a climate-controlled area of the hold, which is pressurized and heated just like the passenger cabin. When the lights are dimmed after take-off, most pets simply snooze away the journey. You can think of it as a business class seat!
