Traveling by Airplane
Although a less common method of travel, rabbits can be transported across the country by air. Most United States airlines to do not allow rabbits to fly in the cabin. Frontier Airlines allow rabbits to fly in cabin and charge $75 each way. United Airlines also allows rabbits in cabin and charges $125 each way.

Traveling by air is extremely stressful for a rabbit and extreme care should be taken. When possible, choose a direct flight which will not only reduce overall travel time but will also reduce pressure changes.

Packing for Airplane Travel with a Rabbit
Traveling with a rabbit by air takes some more planning than an ordinary flight. An airline approved carrier should contain the following:


 * Towels or puppy pee pads for accidents
 * Hay, pellets, and/or vegetables

In addition to these, the following should be packed in either the side pocket of the carrier (if it has one) or in another carry on bag:


 * Additional food
 * Critical care package and feeding syringe
 * Extra towels or puppy pee pads

It is also wise to check a bag with additional supplies for when you land. This bag should contain the following:


 * Hay, pellets, and other non-perishable food items
 * Water bottle/bowl
 * Food bowl
 * Litter box and substrate
