Step 1 Do a good job in quarantine and prepare valid certificates.
Airlines will require passengers to provide animal quarantine certificates (valid health certificates and vaccination certificates) issued by health and quarantine departments at or above the county level. It should be noted that the validity period of the quarantine certificate is 7 days at most, so the flight date must be within the validity period of the animal quarantine certificate.
Apply for shipping space
Before purchasing tickets, passengers need to confirm whether pets are allowed on the flight, that is, whether there is a cargo hold for live animals. Airlines have restrictions on the number of pets such as cats and dogs. Passengers who want to reserve an aerobic cabin for their pets should apply to the airline more than 3 days in advance.
If the airline adjusts the plane to a model that can't check small animals before the flight takes off, then passengers can only give up checking or take other flights. It should be noted that your pet will be less likely to be sent to another place by mistake if you don't change planes during the trip.
Buy an air box
A sturdy and regular air box is the guarantee for your pet to feel comfortable and safe on the plane. Generally, it can be bought in pet shops, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. The air box must meet the following requirements: 1, which can prevent animals from destroying, escaping and sticking out of the container; 2. Ensure air circulation; 3, it can prevent feces from leaking.
Therefore, a good bellows is made of steel bars, and the chassis and the surrounding area should be surrounded by iron sheets, leaving only vents at the top, and the opening can be solid with lead wire. At the same time, it should be tied with a cushion under the chassis to prevent the pet from leaking and polluting other people's items. Passengers can tie a fixture above the air box to prevent other items from squeezing the container.
Preparation before boarding
Before a long trip, pets need to be vaccinated to ensure safety. If you travel for a long time, you can consult a veterinarian to see if you need to sedate your pet. In the cold winter, you can put on warm clothes for your pets to avoid freezing.
Pets should fast at least 3 hours before boarding the plane and urinate properly. When flying, pets are prone to thirst, so passengers need to fix a large enough water dispenser (which can put some food on it) in the air box. If the pet can't use it, it's best to train in advance.
On the day of the flight, passengers need to arrive at the airport 2 hours in advance to go through the formalities. Please consult the service personnel for the specific location. Try not to let the pet pass through the X-ray machine, but let the security personnel use the detector for inspection. In addition, if your plane is late, you can ask the freight department to send the pet into the cargo hold later.

pick up
If the pet takes the baggage check-in channel, then people will go to find the pet; If you take the cargo transportation channel, that is, the owner and pet are not on the same plane, passengers need to "pick up the plane" as soon as possible. The pet spent a few lonely and restless hours in the "little black room". When receiving the pet, the owner must check its state and comfort it well.
