You Want to Bring What?! Oddest Animals on Planes
Animals are an important part of our lives. Whether it’s a beloved household pet, a registered therapy animal or a trained guide dog, we value their companionship. However, no matter how much we appreciate them, not all animals are appropriate for jet travel. We’ll give you some tips on flying with animals on planes.
But first, let’s take a light-hearted look at some of the unusual creatures that have tried commercial air travel.
Ducks usually fly south for the winter, but one chose an unusual method. In 2016, an emotional support duck named Daniel Stinkerbutt took his first commercial airline flight, much to the amusement of the other passengers. Unlike the disruptive pig (above), Mr. Stinkerbutt the Duck enjoyed posing for photos, and became a social media sensation.
These unusual examples were gleaned from a variety of commercial airline flights. But what are the rules for traveling with animals on a Stratos private jet charter?
Here are four tips:
1. Some larger dog breeds require prior approval and may need to remain in a crate for the flight.
2. Cats will need to remain in a travel crate. Many cats actually prefer the familiar comfort of a safe crate.
3. You may need to bring specialized equipment, like a muzzle or a seat restraint harness.
4. Pet details must be provided at the time of booking. Breed, gender, weight and age are crucial pet details when booking animals on planes.
With a little planning, you and your animal companions will have a comfortable, stress-free private jet flight. You can also check out our previous blog article: 5 Tips for Four-legged Travelers. Talk to our professional agents to find out more about bringing your animals on your next trip.
