THE BEST CARRIERS FOR TRAVELLING BY PLANE WITH YOUR CAT

Share the love

Summer holidays are just around the corner, and parting with our animal friends is always difficult. If after weighing up all the options you have chosen to take your cat on a trip, you need the right pet carrier. But what are the best carriers for flying with your cat?

Let’s find out together!

Beware of boarding regulations

IATA, the International Air Transport Association, provides guidelines that define what the design of pet carriers for air transport should be. These guidelines concern the size of the carrier, weight restrictions and, in general, the safety of the pet during the journey. However, it must be noted that each airline has the right to impose its own regulations. We therefore advise you to ensure that you have all the necessary information before your flight in order to avoid unpleasant surprises during boarding.
