I checked with Jordanian airlines and they do not forbit snubbed nosed animal on-board.I am having the same problem with my persian but the timing of Jordanian airlines flights to thailand are just horrible: leaving in the middle of the afternoon, 11h layover in jordan... poor kitty, why would Qatar airway refuse to give her a smooth direct flight? :( but I guess we have no other choice.
Thank you Kareena74 for your message. Our dog is shihtzu but we consulted with the vet and he said it's ok to put her in cargo as long as not when the weather in the ground is too hot or too cold. Are there many shih tzus in Doha ?
Flying With Your Pet FAQAir travel for animals can be tricky and dangerous business, so it is important to know what the law, the airlines, and veterinarians recommend. QuestionsHow do I know if air travel is appropriate for my pet? What steps should I take prior to a flight to make sure my pet's trip goes smoothly and safely?
Can my pet travel in the cabin of the airplane, rather than in the cargo hold?
What does the law require me to do if my pet is going to travel in the plane's cargo hold?
AnswerHow do I know if air travel is appropriate for my pet?Not all pets can or should travel by plane. Air travel is stressful for pets, so you should consider a number of factors before deciding to transport your pet on an airplane, including your pet's disposition, age, breed and health.
Heat or Pregnancy. Animals who are in heat or who are pregnant should not travel by plane.
Age. Federal law requires that animals be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned (meaning weaned for at least five days) before they travel in the cargo hold of a plane. Although the law does not say so, veterinarians generally recommend against putting elderly pets through the discomfort of air travel.
Breed. Pug-nosed animals should never travel in the cargo hold of a plane. This is because of the structure of their faces, which may inhibit their breathing during air travel. If your dog is of one of the breeds listed below, be sure to discuss the issue with your veterinarian and with the airline. Many airlines will not accept pug-nosed animals for air travel. The following dogs are considered to be pug-nosed:
American StaffordshireEnglish Toy SpanielDutch PugShih TzuStaffordshire Bull TerrierBrussels GriffinPekineseBoston TerrierEnglish BulldogJapanese Pug, andJapanese Spaniel.
