Transport of animals and quarantine

Airlines carry pets, and a seat must be reserved for the animal when you make your own reservation. A small dog, cat or other small pet may travel in the passenger cabin, although only one is allowed at a time. Large pets are carried in a heated section of the cargo hold, in their own travel container. If you do not have an appropriate container for your pet you may buy one from the airline or a pet store.

You should find out in advance what kind of quarantine or vaccination regulations are in force for the country you are visiting. Quarantine may last for up to four months.
