I am planning to fly my beagle to the UK next month – I am worried that he may try to get out of his kennel even with following these steps, particularly because he is heavily food-motivated. Is it still necessary to have food on hand considering that the flight is 10 hours direct from the west coast of the US?
Food is not required by the airlines it is just suggested. They suggest it for pets who do not have a straight flight and have the risk of their connecting flights being laid over, delayed or even canceled. Those pets might need to be fed. For pets who have non-stop flights they do not need food attached, because the airline will not be required to offer them food while flying.
So if your pets flight is non-stop no food, if your pet has a connecting flight food attached to the kennel is always a good idea.
