Wow, buy him a seat? If they'll charge me as much as for my own ticket that might get quite expensive.

But I'll look into that, thanks a lot for the info! :)

The world around you gets hazy and the only thing you focus on is you and that person. And for that one moment you've been given this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry at the same time because you're so lucky you've found it and so scared that it will go away.

Hi,

Some airlines will allow pets to travel in a carrier, if you buy him a seat-I am not joking. I met a woman on a KLM flight traveling from Amsterdam to NY, with her darling little Pug.

I know KLM will allow this...but I think you will need clearance from a veterinarian-ask them what paperwork they require. I don't think you will have any problems...

: )

Good Luck !

I took my cats in cabin and I didn't have to buy them a seat. I paid $30.

Quick google search (rabbits airlines) yielded unofficial results that Continental and Delta allow rabbits in the cabin. I'd call to verify (is Continental still in existence??).

And this website has some things to consider (scroll down for info on air travel):

http://www.rabbit.org/chapters/san-diego/b...ior/travel.html

Best of luck! Your friend is adorable!

PS Rabbits are not rodents, they are lagomorphs (these are two separate and distinct taxonomic orders).... sorry... I'm a former biology major who just can't help herself! :P

Many thanks to the Visajourney community for all the help!

Thank you for the link Maya, I came across this website before, and based on what i read there and on other sites I decided I really don't want him to travel as cargo. :unsure: Poor thing will be so frightened anyway, I'd rather take care of him myself.

Another question, the health certificate I'll have to get from the vet, does it have to be in english?

I flew with Delta (took my cats in-cabin) and they didn't require a health certificate. Phone calls to Delta resulted in different replies so I got one anyway. If the health certificate is needed they will need to read it at both ends of the trip - the Germany end and the USA end. I'd consider asking for it to be done in two languages, that way you're covered.

Incidentally, if you phone Delta's booking line for Germany they will tell you straight away if you can take your rabbit in cabin. This will remove any of the guesswork that has been going on in this thread. If you can take rabbit in cabin you need to book it at the same time as your ticket. There is a limit to two animals in cabin per flight, first come first served.

This site might also help you:

Try the Europaeische Heimtier Pass, google it, it comes in German/English and is a health certificate, every vet will be able to fill it out!!! It mostly focuses on the rabies vaccination and a healthy animal...

Sample in German...

Sample in English...

It is for entry to the EU, but I guess you can use it as a health certificate for your little one too!!!! Oh don't do it earlier than 10 days prior departure - it should be really recent. Talk to your vet about it!

Most fit to fly certs concentrate on the animal's heart and communicable diseases. The airline wants reassurance that the animal won't die mid flight.

Some airlines ask that the examination be done only five days before flying. Check with the airline to find out what their requirements are.
