Pets are cherished members of the family. Leaving them behind during a holiday can be a distressing experience, both for you and your furry companions. Similar to humans, pets can experience anxiety and stress, especially when separated from their caregivers. That’s why we inform you with all the essential information you need to know to ensure you have a pleasant and convenient flying experience when bringing your pets aboard your private jet or charter flight. Read on to find out more about flying private with a dog or other pet.
1. Cabin Comfort and Safety
Transporting pets in cargo holds of commercial airline flights is often traumatic. Private jets offer a vastly different experience. Pets can accompany you in the cabin, providing the both of you not just companionship but a secure and comfortable environment. In Private Jets, pets will have designated space, ensuring they feel at ease throughout the journey.
2. Preparing for the Private Pet Flight
Before boarding, it’s essential to consider a few points to guarantee a stress-free journey for both you and your beloved pets
- Accessories for the Flight
Pets that fly for the first time are bound to feel a bit uneasy. Familiar toys or comforting items can keep pets entertained and calm, especially during the take-off and landing phase. Consider bringing your companions’ favourite treat! To maintain cabin cleanliness, we advise pet owners to bring a towel to safeguard the seats.
- Health Considerations
Some pets might have health conditions that make flying a challenge. It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before the flight, to allow time for necessary care if required.
3. Required Travel Documents
A small yet crucial step people often overlook is the necessary legal documentation of your pet. Ensure you have the necessary documentation when travelling with your pets. This normally consists of a pet passport with a vaccination certificate.
4. Pet Requirements
The minimum age for pets aboard our private jets is eight weeks. This might be different for other companies, so make sure to check this beforehand! The weight and size restrictions depend from company to company. For our jets, we can allow pets up to 8 kilograms.
This is the most important information to consider before taking your pets on board an airplane. For inquiries or questions regarding pet-friendly flights, reach out to us.
