With more and more hotels becoming pet-friendly, an increasing number of pet owners are opting to take their pets along for the ride.

There’s a lot of preparation that goes in to planning a vacation with a pet. And preparing for a flight and making arrangements can be difficult if you don’t know what to expect. So read on for an overview of pre-flight considerations that cat, dog and other pet owners will have to address when taking a pet on an airplane.

Will Your Pet Travel In-Cabin or In Cargo?
Flying in cabin vs. travelling in the cargo hold of the airline is the first consideration for pet owners. Most dog, cat and other pet owners would prefer to have their pet with them in-cabin, but regulations require that all animals remain in an airline approved crate or carrier, that must be small enough to stow beneath the seat. If your pet can’t comfortably fit inside a small crate, then he will have to fly in cargo.
