- Pets / Animals at Springfield Branson Regional SGF Airport
Airline policies regarding pets vary widely and it is highly recommended that you contact the airline prior to making a reservation. Here are some helpful tips for traveling with pets:
Tips for Traveling with Pets:
· First, contact your airline to find out the rules and regulations they have on pet travel.
· Do not tranquilize your pet, as the effects of tranquilizers on animals at higher altitudes can be unpredictable.
· The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has set up rules and regulations for the transportation of live animals, and your pet is required to be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned before traveling by air.
· Whenever possible, book a direct, nonstop flight and avoid holiday or weekend travel. Try to plan schedules that minimize temperature extremes.
· The kennel that you use must be sturdy, properly ventilated, and large enough for your pet to freely be able to stand, turn around and lie down.
· Get your pet comfortable with the kennel prior to flying; this reduces stress on your pet.
· Give your pet food and water within four hours before your flight. You will have to sign a certification of the time when you last offered food and water to your pet.
· Give yourself plenty of time for check-in so there is no rushing and everything is done properly

BEFORE YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT
Don't wrap presents! Security personnel will unwrap for inspection.
Don't over-pack. Take only what you absolutely need. An overstuffed bag can slow down security screening because it's generally hard to reclose. Consider spreading items in between several bags.
Carry-on bags: think small. Carry-on items are limited to one bag and one personal item, such as a purse, briefcase or laptop. The bag can be no bigger than 9" X 14" X 22" or a total of 45 linear inches.
Be sure your bags have identification tags on both the outside and inside.
Put all undeveloped film in your carry-on bag because checked baggage screening equipment will damage film. If your film is over ASA/ISO 800, or has been sent through an X-ray machine five times, request a hand inspection.
Don’t wrap gifts. All packages may be opened for inspection by security screeners.
All passengers who are 18 years of age and older must present a government issued photo ID.
WHEN YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT
As you approach the checkpoint, take your laptop and video cameras with cassettes out of their cases.
Remove your outer coat, suit coat, jacket or blazer to place in bin for X-ray.
Place the following items in your carry-on baggage before entering the screening checkpoint: cell phones and personal data assistants, keys, loose change, jewelry and large metal items.
