The more and less permissive airlines with animals

Sooner than we think the Christmas it will have reached our homes. At this intimate time of year, many people travel to other corners of the country and, even, to the planet, to reunite with their loved ones, especially in these moments of crisis, in which many have had to seek life outside. of our borders.

Although there are many alternatives to leave our dogs safe while we travel, the truth is that during Christmas it is difficult to separate ourselves from our pets, which are one more in the family. Luckily, it is becoming easier to travel with pets on different means of transport, including the plane. Of course, not all companies offer the same treatment to pets. So today in Hard Hobbit To Break we want to talk to you we are the most and least friendly airlines with animals.

Not all airlines are created equal

Did you know that almost half of the homes in our country have a pet? Yes, it is a lower figure than in other European countries, but in any case it has not stopped growing for a few years. Thanks to this, the tourism sector has begun to adapt to pets, making it much easier to travel with them today. Of course, as we have anticipated, not all companies are equally permissive with pets. A study by the online agency eDreams proves it.

The most permissive companies

The study carried out by the travel agency has analyzed 10 airlines: Iberia, Vueling, Air Europa, Swiss Airlines, British Airlines, Ryanair, EasyJet, Air France, Lufthansa and Air Berlin. Of all of them, the first three are the most permissive when traveling with animals. What is the agency based on? Well, very simple! They are the airlines that accept more pets as pets, since in addition to cats and dogs, they allow them to fly with birds and turtles. In addition, Vueling adds to its list of animals allowed fish, while Air Europa also accepts rodents. On the other hand, keep in mind that with these three airlines you can travel with pets cheaper (from 25 to 160 euros, always depending on the weight of the animal and the size of the carrier).

Companies that do not allow traveling with animals

Although it may seem strange to you because of the times, there are still airlines that do not allow traveling with animals. Of those analyzed by eDreams, we found Ryanair and EasyJet, airlines that only allow the entry of animals when it comes to guide dogs or rescue. In this case, and like in other companies, dogs can travel for free.

Tips for flying with pets

What we recommend if you plan to travel with pets is that you inform yourself well about the requirements of each company. In addition, it is important that, when taking your flight, you also book your pet's, since most companies have limited places for pets. It is better to avoid plane changes and opt for flights in the early morning or late afternoon in hot weather. On the other hand, in the cold season it is better to travel during the midday. On the other hand, we advise you not to administer tranquilizers the animal, since these can increase the risk of respiratory and heart problems. Also, keep in mind that if your animal is small, you may be allowed to take it in the cabin.
