People who often fly must have heard of or personally experienced such a thing: after arriving at their destination, they found that their luggage was sent to other places by mistake.
In fact, pets that travel at will have been accidentally sent to different places.
In addition, because domestic airlines prohibit passengers from carrying pets with them, the little guy who stays alone in the cargo hold must be in a state of anxiety and panic. In order to avoid accidents and make them comfortable, please refer to the following suggestions.
Early arrival: you need to consult the airline and book the space two days in advance. As the transport of pets must be equipped with an aeroplane with an aerobic cargo hold, booking the cabin in advance and arriving at the cargo terminal three hours before departure can ensure that your pet will arrive on the same plane as you.
Avoid squeezing: First, prepare a sturdy and durable special air box to transport pets. On the one hand, domestic airlines have certain requirements for the packaging of living things, on the other hand, it is also for the safety of pets themselves. Furthermore, a plastic product can be tied with adhesive tape above the bellows to prevent the porter from pressing other items on the box.
Provide drinking water:: Almost all air containers will be equipped with drinking fountains. You can freeze the full water dispenser into ice cubes and put it in the refrigerator, and then put it in the air box after boarding the plane, so you don't have to worry about the water being knocked over and the pet being tied up and having no water to drink.
Don't change planes: As long as you don't change planes during the trip, your pet will be less likely to be sent to another place by mistake. If your plane takes off late, you can ask the freight department to send the pet into the cargo hold later to ensure its safety.
Sedative: If your pet is easily nervous or stimulated, you can consult the veterinarian first and buy some sedatives to help it relax.

Matters needing attention in animal consignment
Packaging preparation of 1: special plastic space box is needed, and the iron pet cage used at home at ordinary times is unqualified.
Quarantine preparation: The airport will let you take your pet to quarantine, and the quarantine fee is 20~30 yuan. The quarantine certificate should be attached to the freight bill.
3 time preparation: after selecting the flight, you must arrive at the airport at least 3 hours in advance, otherwise you may miss the plane after completing the quarantine. It is necessary to predict the waiting time and flight time, and prepare enough water and food for pets. Hot weather and poor ventilation will bring harm to pets.
Freight: domestic air transport: average 9.2 yuan /kg (Beijing-Shanghai).
After the trip: pick up the goods with the waybill as soon as possible. If you don't fly at the same time, let the pet fly alone. After the plane takes off, inform the consignee of the waybill number (fax waybill), and the consignee should remember to bring his ID card.
railway transportation
Except for a few cities, most domestic railways allow pets to be checked, and the price will be much cheaper than air transportation. But first, you need to provide the animal quarantine certificate approved by the railway transportation department. The general inspection fee is around 20 yuan. Please consult the local railway freight department for the quarantine location.
Railway transportation usually adopts a closed luggage compartment. Although the owner is allowed to take care of it, it still can't solve the problems of high temperature in summer and cold in winter.
