Travelling with your pet is surely\u00a0bit\u00a0of a hassle when it comes to air travel. But that should not hamper your plans of travelling with your fur babies. The best travel agents understand your concern and we have gathered different policies of some of the most popular pet-friendly airlines. <\/span>Remember, each and every airline has a different rule on your pet travel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Pet-friendly<\/p>\n

L<\/span>ike your favourite and the most popular airlines like Ryanair and easyJet allow pets at all, neither in the hold nor in the cabin. Only service animals are allowed only on selected flights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whilst some allow the pets in the cabin, some in the hold others don\u2019t allow them at all. If you are travelling to Europe with your pet, you need to keep a few things in mind too. From security, immigration, passport, microchipping to recent vaccination and treatments, everything has to be updated.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will explain you everything. But first let us tell you pet-friendly airlines from the UK that you can book flight tickets with, and also if they will allow your pet in the cabin –\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unless you have an assistance dog, your pet can only travel in the hold. Again for the prices, they may vary according to the size of the animal. Check with your travel agent because you also get air miles under Virgin Atlantic\u2019s Flying Paws scheme.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. KLM<\/b><\/p>\n
