How to choose the right tool for your trip

Each tool covers one specific step of planning a trip with your dog. The flight comparison tool helps you find and choose the airline that best fits your route and your dog’s weight — in the cabin, in the hold or as cargo. The IATA crate calculator works out the size of airline-approved crate your dog needs if they travel in the hold. And the entry requirements checker lists, country by country, the documents and steps you must complete before departure.

Used together, these three tools cover the essentials: which airline, which crate, which paperwork. Everything you need to travel with your dog with peace of mind.

Traveling with your dog: the key steps

  2. Choose the airline that accepts your dog on your route with the dog flight comparison tool and our comparison of 62 airline pet policies.
  3. Work out the crate size with the IATA crate calculator, then get an airline-approved travel crate.
