Arline prices right now are the cat’s meow right now, but if you like to travel (Rome is one of our best cities), you might consider traveling with your feline. But how? Or more accurately, meow?
This article will show you the best ways to travel with your cat.
The Best Ways To Travel With Your Cat
Traveling on a plane with a cat requires careful preparation and adherence to airline and travel regulations. Here are some steps to help you travel with your cat on a plane:
Familiarize Your Cat with Travel
Help your cat become comfortable with travel by taking short car rides in the carrier. This will help them acclimate to the motion and confinement. Additionally, expose your cat to the sounds and sights associated with air travel, such as recorded airplane noises, to reduce anxiety.
Comfort and Calming Techniques
Place a familiar blanket or piece of clothing with your scent in the carrier to provide comfort to your cat. Additionally, consider using calming products or natural remedies (under the guidance of your veterinarian) to help reduce anxiety during the journey.
Feeding and Water
Avoid feeding your cat a large meal before the flight, as it can cause discomfort. However, ensure your cat stays hydrated by providing water in a spill-proof container attached to the carrier. Some airlines may require freeze-proof water containers for travel during colder months.
Identification and Microchip
Ensure your cat is wearing a secure collar with identification tags containing your contact information. Additionally, consider microchipping your cat as a permanent form of identification.
Check Airline Policies
Start by researching and understanding the specific requirements and policies of the airline you’ll be flying with. Each airline may have different regulations regarding pet travel, including restrictions on breed, size, and the type of carrier allowed.
For example, Delta Air Lines says, “Small dogs, cats and household birds can travel in the cabin for a one-way fee, collected at check-in. They must be able to fit in a small, ventilated pet carrier that fits under the seat in front of you.”
Note any additional documentation, fees, or specific procedures that may be necessary.
Familiarize yourself with the security procedures at the airport, as you may be required to remove your cat from the carrier during screening. Practice doing so calmly and safely at home to prepare for the process.
Visit the Veterinarian
Schedule a visit to your local veterinarian to ensure your cat is healthy and up-to-date on vaccinations. Some airlines may require a health certificate issued by a veterinarian within a specific timeframe before travel.
Choose an Airline-Approved Carrier
Purchase a suitable airline-approved pet carrier that complies with the airline’s regulations. The carrier should be well-ventilated, secure, and large enough for your cat to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably. Get your cat accustomed to the carrier by gradually introducing it in the weeks leading up to the trip.
Here are some pet carriers you may like:
Mesh Pet Carrier
Top Load Soft Pet Carrier
Prepare the Carrier
Line the carrier with absorbent bedding and ensure it is secure and properly fastened. Familiarize your cat with the carrier by leaving it open in your home, placing treats, toys, or comfortable bedding inside, and gradually encouraging your cat to spend time in it.
Make Reservations
Inform the airline in advance that you will be traveling with a cat. Airlines often have limited space for pets in the cabin, so it’s important to secure a reservation for your cat as early as possible. Be aware that some airlines may not allow pets in the cabin and may require them to travel in the cargo hold.
Final Tail
Having a cat in tow when you travel is a doable exercise in patience, and procedure. Remember to always prioritize the safety and well-being of your cat when traveling. It’s recommended to consult with your veterinarian and the airline directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding traveling with pets on a plane.

The band was rocking and had great energy and banter with the audience.
“The cocktails are expensive ($15-20), but the fleur de lis cocktail was absolutely divine! (Grey Goose vodka, essence of peach & rosemary, elderflower, and tonic!) This place was the perfect experience to wrap up our first day in New Orleans. We’ll definitely be back again!”

Traveling for cheap is not only something that you should try once or twice, but it should become a part of your lifestyle. Yes, you can travel for cheap this year and beyond.
This article will show you how you can travel for cheap anywhere in the world this fall. You can use these money-saving tips anytime of the year.
In This Article:
- Research Cheap Fares
- Be Flexible
- Know The Exchange Rate
- Get Sightseeing Passes
- Stay Near A Big City
- Book Free Tours
- Book At The Right Time
- Save On Food
Research Cheap Fares
The #1 way to start your journey to finding cheap fares is to research online. Don’t book on the first travel site that you run across. This step takes some real research.
Sites like Priceline, Orbitz and Google Flights are great resources to find cheap flights.
Kayak has a map that shows you cheap fares. So does Google Flights.
You’ll also want to consider whether you need travel insurance, which could cover you in the event something unexpected happens.
Consider purchasing travel insurance to protect yourself against unexpected events, such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, or lost luggage. Many insurance providers offer coverage specifically for travel to Rome.
Be Flexible
Flexibility is perhaps the most important strategy in finding cheap flights. It pays to know whether the timeframe you plan to travel is the destination’s peak tourist season or offseason, when things are cheaper.
If you’re locked in on a date and can’t change it, the likelihood is that you’ll pay more.
Know The Exchange Rate
If you’re traveling to another country which has a favorable exchange rate compared to the U.S. dollar, you can save money by buying things there.
For example, the euro is trending lower than the dollar right now, which means you can pay for things like food or other expenses for less.
Use this Historical Currency Converter to research how much a particular country’s money has increased or decreased in value.
Get A Sightseeing Pass
Some cities have what is called a sightseeing pass or city tourism pass. That is usually the cheapest way to experience several of a destination’s top landmarks for less.
Before you book your travel, research the particular city you’re going to and see what it offers where sightseeing passes are concerned. They typically offer bundled deals that are less expensive than buying admission tickets a la carte.
Stay Near A Big City
Tourist destinations attract visitors for a reason: They have the amenities, landmarks and infrastructure to accommodate travelers. The downside is that visitors will pay a premium to stay there, but if you fly into a major city but stay outside the city, you can save on lodging.
Of course, you’ll bear some expense to travel in and out of the travel destination each day, but depending on where you book your hotel, it could be worth it by a lot.
Book Free Tours
Always search for free tours and book early. That way, you get to experience the city on your own terms without it costing you an arm and a leg.
Free tours may not include many of the stops or features that a paid tour will have, but it will let you know what you need to pay for.
Book At The Right Time
Buying a flight at the last minute will be expensive. If you can help it, try to book at least a month out to get a reasonably priced fare. Anything within three weeks will likely be higher.
For lodging, Airbnb used to be the best bargain, but that’s not necessarily the case anymore. Hotels are increasingly offering flat rate deals that are competitively priced.
If you don’t mind living with strangers, CouchSurfing offers some cheap options.
Save On Food
One website that allows you to see what most locals are eating in any given country is EatWith, which shows you immersive culinary experiences.
Take Advantage Of Lunch Specials
If you want to experience a certain restaurant you’ve read about, don’t wait until dinner when the menu is pricey. Go to lunch!
The lunch menu is typically cheaper than any other time of the day, so that’s when you should patronize that particular restaurant you’ve always wanted to try.
Final Word
You can travel for less if you keep your goal in front of you: saving money. That means you need to use travel apps and other strategies that help you lower your expenses.
Here are cheap flights from New Orleans.

Going from Baton Rouge to New Orleans seems to be getting shorter and shorter due to housing sprawl, but the distance — and travel scenery of oil refineries, rural parishes and swampland river — has not changed.
This article is going to tell you what you need to know about the trip.
How Far Is New Orleans From Baton Rouge?
New Orleans and Baton Rouge are approximately 80 miles apart. In a vehicle, you can make the trip in about an hour and 10 minutes give or take a few minutes.
The most notable route is to take Interstate 10, which goes right through both cities. You can also take Interstate 12, but it’s 15 minutes longer and you’ll have to curve back through Slidell.
For a more scenic route, you can take Airline Highway from Baton Rouge to New Orleans as well, which will take about one hour.
What is The Halfway Point Between Baton Rouge And New Orleans?
The halfway point between Baton Rouge, LA and New Orleans, LA is Denson, Louisiana, which is also known locally as Bear Island.
Between Baton Rouge and New Orleans is several parishes, the Louisiana version of counties.
What Parishes Are Baton Rouge And New Orleans In?
Baton Rouge is in East Baton Rouge Parish, while New Orleans is primarily in Orleans Parish. Nearby is Jefferson Parish, which is considered part of the Greater New Orleans area.
The Fastest Way: I-10
The quickest way to get there is to take Interstate 10, which is the federal highway system’s east-west corridor. If you choose this route, you’ll go over the bayou and several bodies of water. On your way, you’ll cross over the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. At 23-miles long, the Causeway is the longest continuous bridge over water in the world.
The I-10 corridor between New Orleans and Baton Rouge also has another distinction. A part of it is known as “Cancer Alley.”
What And Where Is Cancer Alley?
Cancer Alley is a span between New Orleans and Baton Rouge that has gotten the infamous moniker because of the high instances of cancer in the communities along the route.
The nickname especially characterizes St. James Parish, which has a majority of its population living below the povery line.
The area is also known an “environmental sacrifice zone.” That means it’s made up of a geographical area that has been contaminated by dangerous chemicals.
The Street Way: Airline Highway
You can also take Airline Highway to go from New Orleans to Baton Rouge. If there’s an evacuation, you may find that this scenic route is less crowded and makes sense.
On your GPS, all you have to do is input U.S. Highway 61 from New Orleans and take it northwest to Baton Rouge and U.S. Highway 190.
Final Word
If you’re traveling from Baton Rouge to New Orleans, Louisiana, or vice versa, you’ll want to pick the most convenient route between the state’s largest cities.
Traveling around Louisiana to experience the different communities is one of the joys of the South. Make sure you fill up on gas and don’t speed (the cops are watching).
