I have been travelling with cats for the last three years on planes, trains & automobiles, so here’s my advice on taking your cat on a plane!
Step 1: Carriers
• You’ll want to pick a carrier your cats are comfortable with/in. Atlas prefers an expandable backpack.
• A few weeks before the trip, put the carrier out so they can get comfortable around it. This helps them associate the carrier with ALARM
Step 2: Tote Bag of Goodies
• A collapsible litterbox
• Large pee pads
• A water holder
• Hydrating treats
• Collapsible food bowl
• PLENTLY of wipes
• PLENTY of zip block bags
• Litter
• Plastic gloves
(I got all of these products from @chewy & Amaz0n!)
Step 3: Medication
• Homeopet Anxiety Drops (they work OK)
• Ask your vet for Gabapentin (or like)
• Give you cats the medication the night before the flight & the morning of an hour before the airport!
Step 4: Food/Bathroom
• A few hours before the flight take their food away
• Make sure they try to go to the bathroom before you leave
Airport
• Reserve an IN PET CABIN tag in advance online! This was $125 per flight.
Security
• You can ask for a PRIVATE SCREENING ROOM (takes a lot of time)
• OR walk your cat through the detector
Airplane:
• Isle Seat = quick access to bathroom for them
• Window = less interruptions of people walking by
• Bring a blanket/sweatshirt to cover their carrier so they can sleep
• If they can sleep or are loud- put the carrier on your lap!
LMK if you have any questions or tips to add!
GOOD LUCK!!!!!
