- Coffee travels for the first time over 20 hours!! In Cabin on a International Flight
We wanted to share with you all our experience of flying with our Dog (Coffee) a Toy Poodle. We are sharing our experience of flying with her all the way from Taiwan to Spain. We traveled for more than 20 hours. The longest flight was Taipei to Amsterdam which was 13 hours.
I will share some of our experience with the cost of her ticket, her carrier bag, how did we manage the potty breaks and why we choose KLM. Coffee flew under the rules of in-cabin Pet set by KLM. We did not take her as an ESA (Emotional Support Animal)
This is a short intro video to share our experience. If there are repeat questions we might make another video to answer them.
Sharing our experience at TPE, AMS and MAD flying in-cabin with KLM.

Due to popular question: The carrier bag we used is Petsfit Brand, I bought it in Taiwan but found the same one on Amazon: amzn.to/3svItC3 I just measured the bag we have and it's 9"(23cm) tall and 15.5" (40cm) long. **This is an affiliate link! It will not cost you anything but if you do buy I get a small commission from Amazon :) **

The dog is really sleepy she’s falling asleep as you speak😂
Thanks for your video, was very helpful. I have a Shihtzu, he traveled with me by Lufthansa, that has a bigger space, but now I need to travel with KLM
This is so useful, thank you. And congrats for the training, very impressive! I have a question: have you got checked for the weigh? In your experience, how flexible are companies about the 8kg policy? Thanks so much!
Wow thanx so much . I'm taking my Yorkshire terrier ,klm uk to south africa, This really helps.
The carrier bag you used did fit the KLM under seat specifications??? WHAT SIZE DID YOU USE??
very helpful! thank you so much for sharing :) eventually I'm planning to take my mini Dachsi on longer journeys, so it's great to hear some first-hand information :)
Glad it was helpful!
I love that your pup is trained to pee on the piddle pad❣️ What a lifesaver that was! I will be flying with a cat. Cats are very particular about using the bathroom in unfamiliar places. I have a fold-up litter box packed as well as a zip-lock bag of fresh kitty litter.....and hopefully we can find unoccupied “family” restrooms in the airports so I can lock the door and let him out to potty.
good idea! Hope it works
would like to connect with you, I am traveling with my 2 cats and would love to take some advice from you.
Thank you so much for making this video, made me feel a lot easier when traveling with my dog!
How much did it cost you?
I'm glad you found it useful! The reason we made the video is because we wished someone had shared this information with us too 👍🏻
I just doubled checked and it was 125 EURO at the time of the travel
@@travelingpotatoes1172 thank youu
Thank you so much for this video. Can you please share the brand and dimensions of pet carrier that you used.
Thank you so much for this video!! I'm planning on moving from Brazil to Indonesia with my cat and from research KLM seems like the best option as well. Thank you for all the information!
Hey Esther! Don't know if you already traveled with your cat from Brazil to Indonesia, if so how was the experience? Did your cat got too much stressed with the flight? Was he/she already used to go out? I'm planning in going with mine from Brazil to Norway with KLM but I'm worried it might be too much stressfull.
@@renatabaumanncorrea4012 hi! I ended up not taking my cat there, but I would definitely do it through KLM. I thought of spending a few days in amsterdam before continuing flying but idk if it would just stress him more.
@@renatabaumanncorrea4012 I'm back in Brazil now, reunited with my cat, but Indonesia is still an option
thank you so much for sharing your experience, now I'm more confident in choosing KLM to fly with my dogs!
hi your dog is so cute. How much did it cost to bring a dog into the cabin on KLM. Planning to take 3 dogs in the hold and one in the cabin as a flight volunteer
Loved your video by the way. Super helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Good experience and quite encouraging.
Thank you so much
My boy happy is traveling with me for the 1st time to Germany and I am overthinging
Thank you so much. Coffee is so cute!
Hi, Thanks a lot for sharing! We'll fly in two weeks with our 15weeks old mini schauzer. I'm super nervous about it. Your video is really helpful :) Good luck and greeting to your little beauty :)
How tall is Coffee? We want to get a dog and now is a puppy, but the parents are like mom 5 kg (26 cm) and papa 6 kg (32 cm) . I know some airlines ask to be only 23 cm tall carry bag and the dog needs to be able to stand... we are confused 😅
Very useful video. And coffee is just adorable and cutie pie.☺️
I just flew in cabin Bangkok - Amsterdam and it was the best experience ever!
Thank you for this! Sorry if I missed it but did the airline check if your dog could stand up in the bag? My dog can definitely lie comfortably in his but can’t stand/sit upright as airlines supposedly require.
Ashley Simms they don’t really check if they can stand! I was super worry too! But I confirmed with someone who has help people travel with their pets and confirmed me that all airlines care is the weight and bag size. Obviously your dog can’t look crammed into the bag either . Hope it helps!
Traveling Potatoes thanks :) I flew a few weeks ago and you’re right, they didn’t check. I read horror stories online and wasn’t sure if airlines would be super strict or laid back since not many ppl were flying. My experience was definitely the latter...the airlines never weighed or looked at my dog or his carrier (which was technically too big). They also didn’t ask for the health certificate they told me was required and upon landing in Canada they never did the physical inspection or charge me the import fee! You would definitely want to have everything needed and more but it was a lot easier than I thought!
@@travelingpotatoes1172 Do they measure the bag? To my understanding the required measurements are the following 46 x 28 x 24 cm (L x W x H). Im worried if they measure the bag at the airport? I understand if they weight it but im worried if they measure it as I cannot find a bag under 24cms in height, All I can find is bags of 29 cms :/
@@MaestraJager the bags you’ll have to be more careful just like any carry on luggage some airlines are more strict than others. I wouldn’t risk to be rejected. I also had a super hard time finding a bag, best of lucks!
@@travelingpotatoes1172 Could I ask which bag you bought? I’m also having a hard time finding one. Thanks!
Hi there! This video is so helpful. I’m so happy to see about 12-13 hour long flights as we are planning to bring our pup Singapore to Germany. Was she able to potty right before boarding time? And if so, did you also have to make her wee on pads in the airport toilets?
Considering the flight was 12 hours, the total time is pretty much 14 if you consider waiting to depart and board etc..
Glad you found it helpful! She pee on her pad once at the airport and once on the airplane. It was not easy but with patience they will do it. Is important to keep them hydrated even if bathroom will. be hard. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much for sharing! It was very helpful!
Welcome!
When you arrive in Madrid do you need to register your dog? I know that I need to do so in the Netherlands. But I am planning to take my dog to Madrid as well
I wish you could reply this message I'm about to book a flight with my cat in cabin, klm told me the carrier must be 24cm or less and the cats head doesn't have to touch the top of the carrier which I think is impossible unless you're taking a chihuahua, but I see in your video your dog is taller than 24cm. Counter staff didn't have a problem with this requirement in your flight?
This is so helpful! Thank you for sharing your experiences
Glad it was helpful!
Hi did they measure your pet standing inside the kennel?
Hello! Did you have to go through Customs either in Amsterdam or Madrid to declare Coffee?
Thanks for sharing! I’m traveling with my dog next month in an 11 hrs flight so I’m a bit anxious. How many hours before you stopped feeding her in order to avoid poop during the flight?
Very grateful that you shared your experience from TPE to Europe by KLM! You are right! There isn’t too much information out there similar to such trips. Hope to DM you more on Instagram! Thanks
Glad you found it helpful! Yes... there just isn’t much information out there and is very very hard to plan such a long journey without the correct info! Glad it’s being helpful for everyone!
Hi could you please send the link or name of the bag?
Hi! Were all your flights under KLM including TPE to Ams? I was told by KLM that if there's another airline operating for my transit, I would have to take approval from them as well.
Hi ! Ty for this video, I don't find any bag for my dog that measure 24 cm of height, I found only 24cm width foer 28 height, even if I have the good measure , do you think that is gonna be a problem ? (I flight with KLM)
I have a bag that's slightly larger and KLM customer support tells me they won't accept it, even though it can be easily squished in to meet their requirements... Could you let me know if KLM accepted your bag for your dog?
@@backyard_cats I’m sorry, we has made a mistake will we was doing the check in, and the host didn’t pay attention on it at the moments, when she has notice it it was too late, we finally got the flight with air France , and they didn’t check the size of the bag , they didn’t care at all, Air France and klm are the same group so I think that should work
thanks for the video! what is the size of your carrier? as you mentioned, klm seats require a height of 24 cm, which is lower than other airlines; how did you meet that requirement? i'm looking at a similar carrier but the closest i could find was 28cm; would one be able to squeeze the bag in?
The bag I had fit the requirement, left link on the description. Most carrier bags are made with solid frame so I don't think you would be able to squeeze 4cm. Best of luck!
Hey! Thanks for the video! I was gonna ask how did you get her flight tickets so cheap? I’m gonna be trying to get my poodle from Vietnam to France!
Searching all one way and return flights sometimes round trips can be even cheaper!
Hello, when you arrived at the airport did they measure the carrier?
Did they weight check? Are they strict? My dog might be a bit over 8kg and i dont want to let him fly cargo. Please let me know😓🙏🙏🙏
Hey, what is your dogs height? (shoulder to ground/Head to ground) Because I read that the dog is supposed to fit into the bag standing up? or is it okay when he is a little bit taller as long as it's not over 8kg?
Hi, I am wondering as well if you could please help! My dog is 4.4kg and 35 cm tall head to floor, but she fits perfectly when she is laying down. What is your dogs height and did they make him stand up at check in? Please please please help
Where did you buy your travel bag? Can I have the link? Thanks in advance. Thanks for sharing your experience, very helpful♥️
Hi the size I got was 40.5x25.5x25.5cm so the small version. I bought it in Taiwan but I see it is available in Amazon amzn.to/2QhZj62 Safe travels!
Hi. I want to fligh with my dog she is 4. I am so worry about taking off and landing. Was is it too noisy? Your video is helping me to be more relax about it.
Hi how old is your toy poodle when you travelled. My 2 year old toy poodle is travelling with us in a week from Manila to Toronto via Incheon.
Ces Alora she’s 3! Safe fly!
hi! how’d it go?
TYSM I DIDENT KNOW HOW TO TAKE MY DOG WITH ME ON THE FLYET
Many tnanks!!!
Hey :) We are travelling with our dog for the first time in about 4 weeks and we have been looking at travel bags all over the place and can't find the right one. Can you share what brand you have used on your flight ? We like the look of it but any similar ones I am looking at on Amazon are higher than 24cm. We are also flying with KLM so trying to find the right fit. Thank you so much.
Hi! I bought it in Taiwan but I found the same one in Amazon amzn.to/3svItC3 the size is 9" tall, 15.5" long the brand was Petsfit!
Hello, I plan to fly with my dog from US to Cambodia.. will fly with Korean Air transit in Inchon. but they don't let dog from Inchon in Cabin to Cambodia because my dog is more than 7kg. any advise? I already register my dog as service dog. but still not allow to fly in cabin from Inchon.
So cool!!! Me encanta!
Hello, we're thinking of flying with KLM as well from Dubai to Canada, can you let me know how Coffee is, and the dimensions of your soft carrier. It would really help, thanks!
Coffee is doing really well loving her home. Her carrier was sized 40.5 x 25.5 x 25.5 (cm). It fitted perfectly under Air France and KLM flights. Safe travels!
Hi I’m flying alone with my dog, from Hong Kong to Amsterdam. Can you recommend should I choose widow seat or aisle seat? By comparing the space under the seat? Thank you 😊
I would go for window because you wouldn’t want people passing by and your dog being on the floor, cheers!
I’m flying 11 hours straight with my dog in cabin, and.... so worried that the dog travel bag might be a bit too big :( hope there isn’t any problem. Anyway super cute dog with sleeeeepy eyes
Hope it all went well!
Traveling Potatoes it did :) most seats were empty. We had all 3 seats to ourselves! Comfiest flight ever
@@youngeunlee6707 That's great to hear!!!!
@@youngeunlee6707 wow nice
This is very useful video for me and my poodle mina , thank you!
we are about to take the plane in August from Taiwan to France , which I booked with KLM and Air France . Also gonna let my dog stays in the cabin with me ,But mina is 5.9kgs ( 3 kgs more than coffee) what I worry about is she will be locked in the small bag for 21 hours journey in total :(
DId you buy her bag on taobao? Do you have the link, all the bags I find are too big
Hi, can you tell me what brand is your dog’s bag?
Hi i love taiwan. I have a question what is the size of the dog because I know the bag is supposed to be less than 24 cm. Thanks
Coffee is around 30cm (leg to back) hope it helps!
How much does your dog weigh?
Was your bag a small or medium?
My Pomeranian is small but chunky. He’s about 7kg. Me and my husband are trying to organise from Shanghai to Portugal, and it’s so so so confusing. 😭 my cat will be fine, she’s small. But my chunky dog is making it hard.
Hey, i also want to travel in KLM, can i take 2 cats in 1 carrier in cabin, if their combined weight is less than 8kg.
Please answer
Sorry, I wouldn't know if this is possible. You should ask KLM. But it sounds to me as it is not possible because it is not comfortable for the cats.
Where did you buy the carrier?
Hi! I bought it in Taiwan but I found the same one in Amazon amzn.to/3svItC3 the size is 9" tall, 15.5" long Hope it helps!
thank you
Hi Did they measure your cat's carrier?
I was lucky they didn't only weigh. The height is more important than the length because some seats hight are so low the bag won't fit. So go safe! 9" (23cm) x 15.5" (40cm) amzn.to/3svItC3
What was the size of your bag ?
So lucky, dogs who are living in English speaking country is so much more luckier than the rest of country, we couldn’t stay with our pets...
I have a bag for my cat that's slightly larger than the recommended sizes and KLM customer support tells me they won't accept it, even though it can be easily squished in to meet their requirements...
If anyone has any experience traveling with their cat or dog in a slightly oversized soft carrier via KLM, please let me know!
can u tell us the pet carrier size and dimensions. we are planning to take our pet shortly on an international travel to india and we just got the small bag, which is 9 inches tall and 10 inches wide, but they also have medium and large, which are about 11 inches tall. appreciate your suggestion. your video helped
Hi! I bought it in Taiwan but I found the same one in Amazon amzn.to/3svItC3 the size is 9" tall, 15.5" long
Hi, did you travel round trip in India? if so, can u tell me if we have to get DGFT license or something to bring our pets along i.e what are the docs needed
What's your poddle's height right now ?
She is 31cm foot to back
Poodles are the best! Advice: Give your "beast" Zesty Paws "dog" vitamins & he will never get cataracts. Also if you give him Greenies his teeth will stay healthy.
Thank you for not applying your pet for emotional support animal. That was meant for legitimate ESAs to ride with their handler who had legitimate fears during flights. But people abused the system. Your not one of those. I’m grateful, thank you. It’s better to spend the money than to be called out for that.
Won't fly KLM again. They allow small dogs to come on the plane with the owner.
On a flight from NYC to Amsterdam, the dog kept barking until it was allowed the owner let the dog out of the container.
The dog did not stop actually. Every once in a while he'd let out a yelp, which would wake people who were trying to sleep.
Oh well it's nice how kind and understanding you are.
