If you are going to travel with your pet in the coming days, do not forget to keep in mind the following considerations provided by Iberia for your flight.
BEFORE THE FLIGHT
It is important to know the documentation you need to travel with your pet. You should also take into account the legal regulations and conditions for transporting it, and consult your veterinarian well in advance of the trip.
Before flying, you must book a place for your pet through Serviberia.
DURING THE FLIGHT
Your pet may fly in the cabin or in the hold. Whichever option you choose, it must travel in a sturdy, well-ventilated carrier with a waterproof, secure base and a reliable closure.
Pets in the cabin:
It may fly in the cabin if the combined weight of your pet and carrier does not exceed 8 kg. Several pets may travel in the same carrier if its size allows and they are accustomed to living together.
Carrier dimensions: 45x35x25 cm, provided that the sum of the three dimensions does not exceed 105 cm. You can purchase the carrier at a specialty store. (For codeshare flights, you will need to check with the operating airline).
Your pet may travel by your feet, and you must pay close attention to its needs so that it does not disturb the other passengers under any circumstances.
Pet in the hold:
-If your pet and carrier weigh more than 8 kg, it must travel in the hold. It must travel in a comfortable carrier adapted to its size.
-The maximum weight for traveling in the hold is 45 kg. There is no established maximum size, although it should be clear that very large animals requiring special transportation are not accepted.
-If the flight connects with Iberia, it can fly to the final destination without any problem, but if it connects with another airline, it must be reboarded at the connecting destination.
-Upon arrival at the destination, you will be able to find your pet at the baggage claim belt. Our colleagues will transport it with the utmost care so that you can collect it upon arrival.
-They always fly in a special compartment with pressurization and a comfortable temperature suited to their needs.
-If you wish, you can include water and food in the carrier in case it needs them. (They must be kept outside so that the staff can give them to your pet if necessary).
– It is recommended that your pet has eaten before the flight.
-To help it stay relaxed, we recommend putting its favorite blanket or a toy it usually has or finds comforting in the carrier.
-The most important thing you can do is make sure your pet exercises before going into the carrier. If it has used up its excess energy, it will be more inclined to rest and will be calmer during the journey.
