Booking a flight with a pet is not just about finding a cheap route. Airlines can apply different rules for cabin travel, checked hold, pet carriers, documents and the number of animals allowed on board.
These guides are written for travelers in Italy and worldwide. Use them as a checklist before booking, then confirm the current rules with the airline and the destination country.
