embark Did You Know? How do I fly with my pet? What is that fog blowing out of the vent? If you’d like to take Fido or Mittens with you on an upcoming trip, here’s what you should know. Before you book your flight Certain cities and countries have specific requirements about traveling with pets. Check with the appropriate embassy, consulate, or department of agriculture at least four weeks before booking your flight. Booking your flight as one of your carry-on items. No carry-on pets are allowed on European flights or flights to and from Brazil, Tel Aviv, Barbados, or Hawaii. Before your flight During warm months, after boarding and taking your seat, you may notice some fog blowing from the air-conditioning vents overhead. It’s not a type of air freshener; it’s science! The warm, humid air that enters when the cabin doors are open for servicing mixes with the cold air from the vents. This causes the moisture of the humid air to condense into a fog. Once the cabin doors close, and the cabin temperature and humidity decrease, the fog will dissipate. ? TIp: Bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate.
