Cat flying into Orlando help

[Floridadream2020 7]

Hey all just seeing if anyone has flown an animal in to Orlando with Virgin -Atlantic ?

We are flying on same flight as our cat and wondering how easy was to collect after arriving and were you waiting around a long time ? 

Just wondering if to move the cats flight till after we arrive but would prefer to be with us on same day as we will be living 3 hr drive away

No direct experience with Orlando, but please make sure your cat has a valid cat-passport.

As I understand it there are no federal requirements for cats, but there might be state requirements

Thank you just checked and Rabies looks like its on list for Florida - I have visited vet and cat has all feline vaccinations up to date and rabies shot so all good

Are you putting the cat into the cargo hold? I would read into what the passenger hold is like, if the temperature is well regulated and someone will be checking on them, etc.

I hope everything goes alright! I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that.
