Traveling from Amsterdam to New York with a cat..

[Maryann718]

Has anybody ever flown through Amsterdam with a cat? My cat gets scared very easily and I was hoping there is a way to keep her in her pet carrier trough airport security. Maybe even request a private room.

Maryann - are you changing airlines in Amsterdam or are you transiting the airport?

I'm changing airlines in Amsterdam. I have a connection flight from Zagreb, Croatia (Croatia Airlines) to New York (KLM) with a 3 hour layover.

Have you confirmed that you will not need to clear customs? Unless you are on a domestic flight, that may be the case. If so, be sure and carry forms for the Netherlands and conform to their requirements. You can find them here: http://www.pettravel.com/immigration/Holland_Netherlands.cfm. You can require a private room to remove your kitty. Ask a supervisor.

I don't need to clear with customs. I will get a harness just in case they won't let me use a private room.
