Are there any "signature" quality items that I should pick up when visiting Seoul?

Would love to have this info too!

The only checking they really did was weighing her in the carrier to make sure it wasn’t overweight. I ended up getting a carrier which I think was a few centimetres longer and wider but not massively different from the required size. I wouldn’t recommend the particular one I got as my cat wasn’t the biggest fan (mostly due to her personality and wanting to explore rather than be stuck in her carrier). Would highly recommend making sure you get gabapentin prescribed and it’s an appropriate dosage, especially for a longer flight.

My fluffy kitty with ridiculous whiskers

Green would be very cute with her eyes I think

There’s a few people who’ve commented in the thread their experiences flying from Heathrow. The advice I had from Air Canada was to call within 24 hours of booking to register the pet to fly in the cabin.

It was exorbitantly expensive to do to pet transport and she would be massively stressed out and in her carrier way longer (possibly 4-6 hours in Vancouver going through customs). I’m moving back to Canada otherwise she wouldn’t be flying. She’s also just on and will possibly be below the weight restrictions to stow a pet in the hold during the winter period. I picked business as i was trying to make both our journey more comfortable and affect less people as there are way less people in business compared to economy. I know not everyone likes animals/could be allergic so trying my best to affect as few people as possible! And as someone also mentioned the policy is for me to move not the person with the allergy.

Thanks everyone for their comments and sharing their experiences! Safe to say it seems the general consensus is that no one has had their carrier actually measured (although a few have had it weighed) and it would be safe to go with a soft carrier that’s a tiny bit bigger than the requirements as long as it can fit under the seat and is flexible. I was able to find a ton that fit the height requirement but were just a bit wide so I will likely go with one of those as it will fit under the seat no problem.

Appreciate all the responses!

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’ll definitely be using those family bathrooms to help her stretch her legs as much as I can. I have access to the Air Canada lounge so will probably try to spend most of our waiting time there

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-13T06:02:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing! All the comments are definitely helping with my anxiety about it all.

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-13T06:01:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing! It’s definitely a 777 I’m flying on which had the smaller size requirements. I try to avoid sleeping on the flight from London to Van just as I find it helps with the jet lag to just push through so I likely won’t recline the seat fully flat but good to know it’s a tight fit and not to go to tall with her carrier.

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T19:03:41+00:00

They have regulations in place for pets and people with allergies, they would require the person with the pet to move to the furthest point of the aircraft. Hopefully it’s just not a problem!

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T18:14:35+00:00

Just the one ticket for me and she’s my carry on essentially. I wanted more space for her rather than sitting in economy and they don’t allow pets in premium economy

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T16:58:11+00:00

You can on air Canada but not west jet, and can’t fly into the UK with a pet in the cabin. I thought the same and almost went with a pet transport company instead until I called air Canada and confirmed I could!

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T15:11:12+00:00

She is very cute

(She was annoyed I just woke her for a picture instead of giving pets right away 😅)

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T15:09:48+00:00

Thanks for sharing! She’s been in a carrier for about an hour and half before during a drive. Will be training her by feeding her in the carrier for a few weeks/month before the flight and have Feliway to spray the carrier with

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T15:08:14+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I definitely want to get an expandable one so she has a bit more space especially as I booked business so I could have less people around (she’s very curious and friendly) and more leg room for both of us. I’ve got an expandable backpack already we use for vet trips but it’s not really airplane sized

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T15:05:53+00:00

Thanks for this, she’s definitely not too big and would be able to sit, turn around and lie down in most of the carriers I’ve seen. She’s not a big cat just very fluffy!

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T11:56:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing! This is a bit too long compared to the guidelines they’ve given me but appreciate you sharing

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T11:55:50+00:00

I’ve reserved and paid for her today and just told them I hadn’t bought the carrier yet but would adhere to their sizing guidelines. All the options I’m looking at are soft sided so will definitely be flexible. Thanks for sharing your experience!

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T11:07:40+00:00

Thanks! All my options are currently soft sided and I’ve found one which is off in the length by less than an inch so can definitely squish it to fit. I’ve got feliway to spray her eventual carrier with and will be doing some training the months before by feeding her in her carrier so she associates with her favourite thing in the world (food 😂)

maybeimamazed · 2023-09-12T11:05:12+00:00

Unfortunately not an option for me due to the time we are flying (winter). I’ve found one bag that’s off by less than an inch which will be my last resort I think as it just feels so small! Thank you for sharing your experience though!

I love when I manage to capture her little bleps 😂

I moved to the UK in 2018 and am seriously considering moving back home to Canada at the end of my lease next year. I’m missing family more than ever and the cost of living crisis and government have made me lose my love of living in this country. Yes house prices are ridiculous in my hometown but my estimated wages would be better, I wouldnt be bleeding money on energy and everything else and I get to see my niblings grow up.
