What Happens At The Airport?

• The captain will set the temperature to approx. 18 degrees Celsius so that the animals are comfortable
• The cabin is dimly lit so that your loved one can see what is going on around them
• What we feel and hear in the cabin of the plane is the same as what animals experience (except in a travel crate they have much more legroom than us!)
