Not long ago, if you wanted to go on vacation with your pet, it was usually complicated, especially if your destination required flying. However, this has changed thanks to companies like Iberia, which are making it increasingly easier for us to travel with our furry friends.
As you well know at Aristopet, we always try to stay up-to-date with everything related to the world of pets, and we know that enjoying our vacations with them is essential. As they are part of our family, we want to experience unique moments with them. We are happy to see that Iberia has understood this message, and so far this year alone, they have helped transport more than 29,000 pets aboard their planes, which is 13% more than the previous year.
One of the big questions we owners ask ourselves is whether optimal conditions will be guaranteed during the flight so that our pets don't get stressed during the journey. For example, we want to know where they can go. In Iberia's case, they allow them to travel both in the hold of their planes and in the cabin, though it is our responsibility to ensure that our animals travel in an adequate container made of resistant, ventilated material with a waterproof bottom.
If the pet and the container it flies in weigh less than 8 kg, it can travel in the cabin with us. Larger animals must fly in the hold, although the hold will be acclimated to the appropriate temperature to ensure their well-being during the journey.
Is it that easy? Of course! It seems that Iberia has understood our message: our pets are part of the family! We only need to request their reservation when we buy the ticket through Serviberia. It's important to keep in mind that the number of animals that can be transported on board is limited.
In short, we can confirm that pets such as dogs, cats, turtles, or birds are welcome aboard Iberia flights. Please remember that if you want to fly with other types of animals (exotic, for example), you must contact the airline.
And because we like to see other pets' experiences firsthand, we present Cota to you. In the video, you can see what her trip to Miami was like.
