I brought two cats over recently.
First, since it is an international flight, they have to fly in the cargo. Don't worry they will be fine down below. I bought two cat carriers a little bigger than needed so they could move a little and be comfortable. I lined the bottom with newspapers and then put blankets over it so the could cuddle up if needed. They also had a water dish that attached to the carrier and I put a little food in the carrier as well. My little kitties had t travel a 26 hour flight and made it just fine. My vet prescribed me a sedative and told me how much to give then and when.
Make sure to book them a space in cargo with the airline ahead of time and get to the airport extra early. About the bathroom, they will most likely hold it or go in the carrier and the newspaper with absorb it.
The MOST IMPORTANT part is to get your import liscense for the cat. Without it you wont get through customs. This is where you need to use the pet relocators unless you know how to get the import liscense without them. I had it all done for me and everything went smoothly. I was worried about the cats on such a long flight, but the only problems I had were from the airlines in the USA.
Really if you get the import liscense everything with be very easy. You can get it from the animal hospital on airport road and you just need the current vet papers with all their shots and rabies shots. I think it is 60 Riyals.
Good luck!!
Let me know if you have any more questions
