Flying with Pika from Bangkok to Chiang Mai

We flew with Pika last month from Don Mueang to Chiang Mai. I had read a lot of forum posts before, so I prepared everything: vaccine certificate, the health form from the vet, a hard carrier with a soft blanket inside, and a small bag of her favourite treats for the airport.

At check in the staff asked to see her paperwork twice. That was fine. She was quiet in the cabin for the whole flight, only one loud meow during the takeoff. Everybody in the row smiled at her, which I think helped me relax too.

What I would change: I would bring a second blanket because she got very warm in the carrier during the wait at the gate. I would also not give her food right before the flight. She was a bit sick in the car from the airport, luckily only the blanket was affected.

Now we are in a rental condo near the old city and Pika has decided the bathtub is her favourite place. Relocating was harder for me than for her, I think.
