A reservation is required when your pet travels as cargo. Pets will be taken care of at the airline’s cargo reception, not where you check in for flights.An advantage of this is that airlines can plan for the number of pets on board and where they are located in the cargo section of the plane.

If possible place your pet’s pillows and blanket in it, so that your pet feels cozy. Keep your pet busy most of the day and during your journey with useful toys.
