And I am bringing my Cat, Sputnik, as I'm not sure how long I will be staying. Hopefully, the trip will go as smoothly as the last time we travelled together.

what a picture! :-D

ya know, i've only flown 3 (maybe 4?) times and had sort of an epiphany when, on one of my trips, i saw someone in the airport with a small dog in a bag (to be carried on the plane). it'd never occurred to me before then that cats/dogs are allowed to fly.

safe travels!

Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport!
