First of all, the first step is to call the airline. Not every airline can handle consignment. The flight type that requires passengers to take has oxygen cabin. If not, pets cannot be checked in. And even if it can be checked, the number of oxygen tanks is limited, so you need to call the airline to ask whether pets can be checked. You need to book a pet consignment if you can. And information related processes and costs.
The second step is to apply. Here is Air China as an example. You need to log in to the official website. There will be a service reservation on the left of the home page. Select the small animals and apply according to the steps.
After the third step is successful, the airline will call to inform whether the reservation is successful. If successful, the pet consignment application will be sent through the email. Then you can print out the pet consignment application and fill it in.
The fourth step is to book a ticket. Xiaobian's suggestion is to apply for a pet consignment first and then book a ticket, because it will cause ticket loss if it can't be checked. PS: if the ticket reservation is successful, you need to buy an airline box with pets. Airlines will have relevant explicit regulations (for example, Air China requires that there should be barbed wire at the air vent of the air box, and the air vent can only be in the upper part of the air box).
Step 5 on the day of departure, the flight needs to carry the following certificates for consignment. Generally, it needs to arrive at the airport two hours in advance. If it is the peak period of holidays, it is recommended to three hours in advance. 1. Printed pet consignment application. 2. Proof of vaccination for pets. 3. Animal quarantine certificate issued by the local animal quarantine bureau.
Step 6: after checking in, passengers can wait for boarding by themselves. When the flight arrives, you can get your pet at the excess baggage. Different airports may have different regulations. It is recommended to consult the airport staff at that time.
Warm tip: the pet consignment price is generally 1.5% of the full price air ticket price per kilogram. It should be noted that it is the full price ticket price, because now many ticket prices are discounted. Also, if the weight of the pet and the box does not exceed 32kg, it is recommended to choose random shipping. If the pet is too heavy, send the sample for a long time. It is estimated that the price will be more cost-effective. Because if you take the freight, the price will be more expensive, and pets need to stay outside the airport for a long time.
