There are several things to consider when flying your pet with Turkish Airlines internationally:
• Turkish Airlines charges extra for pet transportation at the airport. Visit the pet carriage fee calculation page before your trip to calculate these fees.
• Health Certificate: Your vet must issue a pet health certificate before you leave your country. Failure to do so may result in your pet being denied boarding.
• Special Pet Conditions: Cats and dogs with respiratory issues are restricted. Check the airline's rules for which breeds can fly in the hold and in the cabin.
• Cage requirements: Your pet should be able to stand, turn around, lie down, and breathe in their cage or carrier. Cages should be watertight and lockable. To bring your pet in the cabin, they must be in a carrier that fits under the seat in front of you. You can only sit by the window to avoid blocking emergency exits.
• Label the cage with your pet's information. Your pet's transport in the aircraft hold is at the pilot's discretion.
These rules detailed here are only some basic items that are open to change. Before booking your Turkish Airlines international flight with your pet, make sure you read all the rules to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
