Tips for Flying with a Pet

Here are a few tips for flying with a pet:

  • Book your flight well in advance, especially if you are traveling during peak season.
  • Make sure your pet is comfortable in their carrier before you arrive at the airport.
  • Give your pet plenty of water and food before the flight.
  • Take your pet for a walk before the flight to help them relieve themselves.
