US to Asia - 1 long flight or break up the journey?

[bruno]

Anyone relocated with their furry one from the US to Asia?

1. Take the long flight (18 hours, no stops) or break it up to 2 or more segments?

2. What airline did you use?

Thank you!

Bruno - if your airline has facilities to care for your pet during the layover, it is a good idea. (e.g. KLM has facilities in Amsterdam) If you have to claim and recheck your pet in the layover country, you will have to conform to the pet import requirements of that country. Could get complicated..

I have done the Middle East to West coast USA with my dogs. I had the option to break it up or not and I figured I'd just get it over and done with for them as if they stopped, it was more time in transit. It very much depends on the airline you use and what their facilities are like. I understand Lufthansa for example have great facilities for pet care in Frankfurt, other airlines not so much.
