Hi all,
My family and I are moving to Europe (Ireland to be exact) in June and we are bringing our dog with us. I am in the process of getting all her papers together for entry to Europe and I have called the airline we are flying with (Lufthansa) for advice as to how we can transport her. The customer service rep I spoke to was super nice and told me that if our dog fits in a cage that will fit under the seat then she can travel in the cabin with us. Our dog is a cross between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Maltese and she probably would fit into a cage with the dimensions they specify, the thing is she wouldn't have a lot of extra space. If she doesn't fit in the cabin, she has to go as excess baggage which I am not enthusiastic about at all, I would much prefer to have her travel with us if at all possible.
I am wondering if anybody has any experience flying with dogs in the cabin? What checks are done at the airport on the cage etc if she is going to be flown in the cabin? Are they very strict in Ezeiza? I know that if she goes as excess baggage we have to adhere to the international regulations regarding a cage etc but I can't find any regulations relating to in-cabin travelling.
Any advice would be great!
Gracias!!!
