Must watch for pet owners | My cat first flight |

If you have a catand you want to take the cat in a flight along with you, you need to watch this video.
Currently 2 flights allow pets in their cabin in India
-Air India and Akasa Airways.
I opted for Air India and here are the things required,
1. Cat must be fully vaccinated and a fit to fly certificate issued by a licensed vet within 70 hours of travel is required.
1. Only the cats who are under 5kgs are allowed in the Cabin and Air India charges 650rs for per kg of the cat while Akasa Airways lets you carry pet upto 7kgs in weight for free.
2. Cat must be in a container and a label with name and other details must be affixed on the container, A moisture absorbent mat must be placed inside as well.
3. Pregnant pets are not allowed.
4. You will only be allowed to sit at the last row of the cabin irrespective of the seat you booked beforehand.
5. Visit the airport atleast 3 hours before your flight for the hassle free procedure to take place. Rest of the details are in description.
P.s - The final call will be taken by the pilots during the flight boarding which is 99.9 percent yes which sometimes differs depending upon the passengers travelling with some health issues.
Note - This video is not sponsored by anyone I made it for the information purposes.

Hi.. Thanks for such informative video..Can you also please share where did you fly with your cat and from where did you board the flight???

Mam was the flight smooth was the cat fine as I am planning to travel Mumbai to Bangalore

[@TantraSharma]

Yes.. It was a smooth journey.. the only problem was..that the airlines allot the last seat of the flight to the pet traveler..
I was also flying with my kitty for the first time so I checked on her time to time specially during the takeoff and after landing.. If possible carry your pets favourite treat which you can feed them while keeping them in there carrier.. as taking out pet from there box is not allowed.. Rest you know well how can make your pet comfortable may be by communicating with them time to time… May you have a safe and healthy journey

@@TantraSharma yes I will do it thanks so much and what was ur total cost ?

[@TantraSharma]

They charged 650rs per kgs including your carrier weight.. and my pets weight was around 4kgs.. and her carrier was around 1 kgs so I paid somewhere around 3.5k.

Export permit???

[@TantraSharma]

I think its not required.. you anyway get the final call from the pilot depending upon numbers of pet travelling in the flight.

[@salomiandres7499]

Akasa charges Rs.7500 it is not free

[@sunanditachaudhuri5694]

Can you pls mention the dimensions of the carrier or the product link?

[@TantraSharma]

46 cm/ 18 in x 46 cm/ 18 in x 30 cm/ 12 in

[@kalyaniathira7869]

Are 2 cats allowed.. 8 months kittens?

[@TantraSharma]

I am not sure about this. If you will call the airlines they will guide you more properly.
All I know that your cat weight should be under 5 kgs in Air India and 7 kgs in Akasa Airlines.

[@TantraSharma]

No

Air Akasa has fixed amount - not free to travel, one has to buy pet ticket if traveling with pet in cabin.
