How did the cat get on the plane? Do I have to go through the formalities?

If the cat wants to take the plane, it must choose to check it, but it is unlikely to carry it by itself.

Common small animals carried by passengers are puppies, goldfish, turtles and so on. However, it is often blocked when going through airport security. According to the relevant regulations of civil aviation, passengers can travel with pets at random, but they must book or purchase tickets and provide animal quarantine certificates issued by health and quarantine departments at or above the county level. After the carrier agrees, he can go to the airport freight department in advance to handle the random check-in procedures for pets.

Pets should be packed in iron containers carried by passengers themselves, and pet excrement should not be leaked, so as to keep the carriage clean. Pets, containers and food should be delivered as overweight luggage. All checked pets will be placed in the aerobic cabin of the flight according to the regulations to ensure the safety of pets.

Arrive at the airport freight office three hours in advance. The airport freight department is in the innermost part of the airport. If you ask carefully, you will know that there is a sign that says "Freight Department".

Fill in the form first, then put the dog in the cage, just iron, and there should be a board below to prevent the excrement from polluting the hut. Then take the cage and weigh it, and then go back to the room to fill out the form and pay by weight. I'll give you the bill of lading after I pay the money, that's all. The dog will be taken away. You can go to the waiting room to prepare for boarding.

Extended data:

Companies have different regulations on pet consignment channels, which can be roughly divided into two types: one is random transportation channel, and the other is air transportation channel. Random transportation means that the pet will take the same flight as the owner, and the pet will be in the luggage compartment or cargo hold. The formalities can be handled directly in the waiting hall. Air cargo passage means that the checked pets will be transported by the airline's special cargo plane.

Quarantine certificate: pets need to carry quarantine certificates when flying. The validity period of the pet quarantine certificate is up to 7 days, so it must be handled several days in advance after the flight time is determined.

Packaging: Every company has the same requirements on the packaging of pets during the consignment. Mainly firm, with a tray below to prevent pet excrement and vomit from leaking out. Random checked pet cages can also be purchased at the airport check-in counter.

However, there are generally regulations on the size of cages for pets. For example, China Southern stipulates that the size of cages must be between 100×60×40(cm), so the size of pets randomly selected should not be too large.

Check in: You must check in with your pet 2-3 hours before the plane takes off. If the pet is checked in, the owner can take it directly to the baggage check-in area of Hou Ji Building. But if it is checked, it must be handled in the freight department of the airline.
