What Are Kenya Airways Pet Policy?

Who does not have a soft corner for animals? Especially the dogs. People have made pets an integral part of their lives. Pets are taken care of like a family member. Pets have indeed made people’s lives so much fun and entertaining. 

People love their pets so much that they celebrate their birthdays, they have their photoshoots, and they even take their pets on holidays with them. Not only the holidays, people take their pets with them while they are travelling from one place to another. Travelling with pets becomes difficult when one is travelling via air. 

Earlier, airlines did not provide the option of travelling with pets. However, now you can travel with your pets and take them to and fro. Airlines offer some terms and conditions which you will have to follow while bringing your pet on the plane. Different airlines have different pet policies. Kenya Airways provides a very pet-friendly policy. So, have you booked a flight with Kenya Airways? Do you want to travel with your pet?
