While pets may seem odd on a packing list, fur buddies inside of travelers’ carry-on luggage are more common than you may think, according to TSA officials.
— When it comes to packing for a flight, some travelers are checking off an extra furry box on their carry-on checklist, and it’s not their sherpa blanket!
Travelers are advised to bring their pets in a hand-held travel carrier, and remove them right before beginning the screening process, according to the tips outlined in the news release. “If possible, carry the pet through the walk-through metal detector during the screening process,” TSA officials advised.
If a pet is “skittish” or has public anxiety, travelers should request a TSA officer for a private screening and the travelers will be escorted to a secluded room.
