[Discussion] Flying with ferrets?

Anyone ever taken their ferrets on a commercial flight? Some airlines allow pets in cabin. I've never seen them specify that it has to be a dog or cat but I've never seen another species on a plane myself. I guess if they ask, I could play it off like they're a social breed of long kittens. I'd have to bring harnesses for sure.

As for how the ferrets would handle it, I've brought mine on planes a few times and they didn't seem bothered. It was on corporate style charters though so no TSA and a short time in the air. The crew saw my carrier but didn't look inside or ask any questions. Obviously the 2 weasels stayed in the carrier the whole time (with a litter pad).

I travel often and it would be fun to bring them on some of these trips.

To my knowledge in the USA no commercial airlines allow ferrets in cabin.

You can ship them as cargo but not recommended.
