Traveling with Pets
Flying with pets can sometimes be a stressful experience, but with the right preparation and knowledge of the airline’s policies, it can be a smooth and comfortable journey for both you and your furry companions. Air Peace is committed to making your travel experience with pets as stress-free as possible. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to fly comfortably with Air Peace while ensuring your pet’s safety and comfort during the journey.
Air Peace’s Pet-Friendly Policies
Air Peace allows passengers to bring their pets on both regional and international flights, so you can travel with your beloved animal companions with ease. However, there are specific guidelines and conditions that must be followed to ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable during the flight.
- Accompaniment: Pets and animals are not allowed to travel alone. They must be accompanied by a passenger throughout the journey. It is essential to notify Air Peace in advance, especially when traveling with animals, to make the necessary arrangements. Make sure to confirm your pet’s travel details prior to arriving at the airport.
- Crate Requirements: The pet or animal must be transported in an NCAA-approved animal crate. The crate must be well-ventilated and large enough for your pet to comfortably stand, turn around, and lie down. Be sure to double-check that your crate meets the airline’s specifications to avoid any delays at the airport.
- Pressurized Cargo Hold: During the flight, your pet will be placed in the pressurized cargo hold. This is a safe, climate-controlled space designed to ensure the comfort and safety of your animal for the duration of the flight. The cargo hold is specially designed for pets and animals, offering a peaceful journey for your companion.
- Travel Fees: Traveling with pets comes with an additional cost. For each pet or animal, there is a $100 charge. Additionally, if the animal weighs more than 10 kg, an extra $10 per kilogram will be added to the cost. Ensure that you’ve accounted for these fees when booking your ticket and check-in to avoid surprises at the airport.
Documents You’ll Need to Bring
When flying with pets, passengers are required to provide certain documentation to ensure the pet's eligibility for travel. These documents must be presented at the airport before check-in:
- Export Permit: You’ll need an export permit from the quarantine department to allow your pet to travel internationally. Make sure you’ve obtained this permit before your journey.
- Health Certificate and Vaccination Proof: A health certificate from a certified veterinarian is required, along with proof of your pet’s vaccinations. This ensures your pet is fit for travel and free from contagious diseases.
- Proof of Ownership: You must provide proof that the pet is indeed your animal, such as an adoption or ownership certificate.
- Prescribed Fees: Don’t forget to bring the payment for the pet’s transport, as the prescribed fees need to be settled before boarding.
Special Considerations for the UK Route
For passengers traveling to the UK with pets, there are some additional conditions. The carriage of animals on this route is subject to specific operating days, and it is important to check the schedule with Air Peace’s call center 48 hours before your travel date. Make sure to confirm the days when pets are permitted to travel on the UK route to avoid any last-minute surprises.
Important Restrictions
Although Air Peace is pet-friendly, there are some important restrictions to be aware of. Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals are not permitted to travel aboard Air Peace flights. Therefore, if your pet is registered as a service animal or emotional support animal, you will need to make alternative travel arrangements
