Going on a vacation with Coco? For the first time travellers, flying with an emotional support animal could be an overwhelming and stressful process. However, with a little planning, you can make the process easy and fun for both you and Coco.

Travelling is already quite stressful for many people and if they are travelling with an ESA then this stress goes on an even higher level. Emotional support animals make our lives easy and more ‘livable’.

This is why people suffering from depression and anxiety need them to stay calm during the flight.

Check the Airline’s Guidelines

Since the ESA trend is on a rise, airlines are making efforts to accommodate passengers with special needs like travelling with their ESA. However, every airline has different policies regarding emotional support animals.

Before booking the tickets, check the airline’s official website to read about their guidelines related to travelling with an ESA.

If nothing is mentioned clearly, call them and inquire about their policies and if they allow emotional support animals in their flights. Also, there are many animals that are on the ‘No Fly’ list and this is why it is important that you know if your ESA is on the No-Fly’ list.

In case it does not, it is better to look for the airline that allows your type of emotional support animals. Though cats and dogs are allowed there are some breeds that are are not allowed on the planes.

Make Proper Arrangements with the Airline

Once you find the right airline that would allow Coco to travel with you, inform them at least 48 hours before your flight so that they could make the proper arrangements for your beloved companion.

Usually, some airlines have extensive paperwork and submission of documents like the ESA letter, travel letter, vaccination and other medical records of your emotional support dog or animal and a reference that would confirm that your ESA could behave well.

Therefore, you must contact them a few weeks prior to your flight.

Make Comfortable Arrangement for Coco

Once everything is set, get a proper carrier box for your dog. If it is a small lap dog then you can have it on your lap during the flight but make sure that Coco does not dispense unwanted love to the passengers sitting next to you.

Set your pet carrier with some blankets, toys and treats to keep it engaged and entertained. Before boarding the flight, check the food and water supplies for your ESA and make sure that you know how to relieve it during the flight and at the airport.

Travelling with Coco does not have to be full of stress, just plan ahead and make sure that you have everything to manage it and make this travelling experience memorable for both of you.
