There are so many conditions, and the airlines demand a lot to carry your pawed friends inside with you. However, if your pet doesn’t meet these conditions, you must carry them in the cargo hold. There are separate guidelines to carry them on hold. Let’s understand them.

To carry pets on hold.

A team of professionals runs the airline, and there is nothing to worry about regarding your pet’s safety inside the hold. But make sure you follow these guidelines so they can easily accept your pet inside the hold.

• The airlines only allow transporting of cats and dogs inside the hold. You need to carry the rest other species inside the cabin. Also, cargo is a different department; you cannot book space for your pets inside the cargo hold from their official website. Call this number for bookings: 934 90 40 38.
• All your pets must be vaccinated, and you must provide proof. Then only the airlines will accept them inside the hold.
• Your pets must carry inside the approved carrier with proper ventilation, so they don’t suffocate due to in-flight heat.
• In one container, you can carry a maximum of two pets of the same size, and the weight shouldn’t exceed 14kg in each container. With that, your pets must be trained to stay together inside one container, or they will fight throughout the flight, which may result in severe consequences like extreme injuries or even unforeseen death.
• If the weight exceeds each container, you need to contact the cargo department for help. You can use the number provided above.
• The airline charges a fee to carry your pets inside the hold. It depends on the type of pet and your destination. We have added the charge structures below in this article.
• Make sure your container has the good built-in quality and is approved for air travel by International Air Transport Association (IATA). Poor quality welded, or wire mesh containers are not allowed inside the hold. The one with metal doors is the best!
• Big-sized and potentially dangerous dogs can even cut the metal doors because of in-flight stress. That’s why they must wear a muzzle throughout their travel. The airlines only accept dangerous animals if you carry them inside a high-quality reinforced container.
• Once booked, the amount cannot be refunded, so confirm you are 100% sure about traveling with your pet.
• The weight of your pet and carrier must not exceed 50kg.
