Meet Leticia, Our Flight Nanny

Leticia is the dedicated flight nanny who travels with Fly Your Tail pets on eligible accompanied journeys. She is Spanish, has years of experience caring for animals and previously worked as a professional horse rider.

She speaks Spanish, English and Norwegian and is comfortable travelling with dogs and cats through airports, flights, hotels, trains and ground transfers.

We do not hand pets over to random third-party nannies. When a Fly Your Tail flight nanny service is booked, the accompanying person is known in advance and the journey is coordinated as one complete plan.

What Does a Flight Nanny Actually Do?

A flight nanny accompanies your pet during an eligible passenger journey and remains responsible for their care and supervision throughout the agreed travel period.

Airport Check-In

The nanny handles passenger check-in and the pet’s airline acceptance process.

In-Cabin Supervision

Where cabin travel is permitted, the pet remains with the nanny throughout the flight.

Water & Comfort

The nanny monitors the pet and provides water and comfort where appropriate and permitted.

Transit Support

Connections, airport transfers and overnight stops are coordinated as part of the itinerary.

Ground Transport

Road or rail transfers can be included where needed.

Personal Handover

The pet is handed directly to the owner or agreed receiving person at destination.

Which Pets Can Use a Flight Nanny?

Flight nanny travel is mainly suitable for small dogs and cats that meet the airline’s in-cabin requirements.
  • Small dogs
  • Cats
  • Puppies and kittens of eligible age
  • Nervous pets that benefit from accompanied travel
  • Pets travelling within Europe
  • Selected long-distance routes where airline and government rules allow
Airline acceptance depends on the pet’s size, carrier dimensions, weight, breed, route and destination-country rules.

Cabin Travel Has Strict Limits

Cabin eligibility is not based on weight alone. Your pet must also fit comfortably inside a carrier that meets the airline’s under-seat dimensions.
  • Maximum pet weight
  • Pet + carrier weight
  • Carrier dimensions
  • Number of cabin pets permitted per flight
  • Breed restrictions
  • Route restrictions
Before accepting a flight nanny booking, we check the actual airline and route rather than assuming cabin travel is possible.

Flight Nanny Service Within Europe

Europe offers some excellent opportunities for accompanied pet travel, particularly when cabin travel can be combined with rail and road transport.

  • Passenger flights
  • International trains
  • Pet-friendly hotels
  • Road transport
  • Ferry or LeShuttle services
This can be especially useful for destinations where direct cabin entry is restricted or where a multi-modal route offers a more practical solution.

Flight Nanny Travel to the United Kingdom

Direct cabin entry into Great Britain is generally not available for ordinary pet travel, so some accompanied journeys are planned through continental Europe first.

Depending on the case, the pet may fly with the nanny into an EU airport and then continue by train and approved road or cross-Channel service into the UK.

Both EU and UK entry requirements need to be considered when planning this type of route.

What Happens During an Overnight Stop?

Some journeys require an overnight stay between flights or transport sectors.

When that happens, the nanny stays in a normal pet-friendly hotel with the pet. The pet is not placed into a pet hotel or handed to an unknown third party.

We plan food, water, toilet or litter needs and rest time around the journey.

  • Additional overnight stays caused by disruption
  • Airline rebooking costs

Care Throughout the Journey

The main advantage of a flight nanny is that the pet has a dedicated person responsible for them throughout the accompanied journey.

Please include:

  • Water
  • Comfort
  • Temperature
  • Toilet or litter needs
  • Behaviour
  • Carrier condition
  • General wellbeing
A flight nanny is not a veterinarian and does not provide medical treatment, but any concern during travel is communicated immediately and handled appropriately.

When Flight Nanny Travel May Not Be the Right Option

Flight nanny service is not suitable for every pet or route.
  • Pet exceeds cabin limits
  • Airline does not accept the species or breed
  • Destination requires manifested cargo
  • Pet is highly aggressive
  • Pet cannot safely remain in a cabin carrier
  • Government entry rules prohibit the travel method
  • The itinerary would become excessively long or stressful
If accompanied travel is not appropriate, we will explain the other available transport options.

How Much Does a Flight Nanny Cost?

Flight nanny pricing depends on the route and the amount of travel required.
  • Nanny positioning flight
  • Pet flight
  • Passenger airfare
  • Cabin pet fee
  • Hotels
  • Trains
  • Ground transport
  • Ferry or cross-border services
  • Number of travel days
  • Documentation support

Frequently Asked Questions

Flight Nanny Service FAQs

What is a flight nanny?
A flight nanny is a dedicated person who accompanies your pet during an eligible passenger journey. Depending on the route, the nanny may travel with the pet in cabin and coordinate airport check-in, connections, ground transfers, overnight stays and final handover at destination.
Yes, for Fly Your Tail flight nanny journeys the accompanying nanny is known in advance and remains responsible for the pet throughout the agreed accompanied itinerary. We do not hand the pet over to random third-party nannies during the journey.
Possibly, if your dog meets the airline’s cabin requirements. Cabin eligibility depends on the pet’s weight, body size, carrier dimensions, breed, route and the airline’s own rules. We check the actual airline and flight before confirming that cabin travel is possible.
Yes. Cats can be very well suited to flight nanny travel when they meet the airline’s cabin requirements. The nanny keeps the cat in an appropriate carrier and manages water, comfort, litter needs and any required transit or overnight arrangements.
Yes, depending on the route. Direct cabin entry into Great Britain is generally restricted for ordinary pet travel, so some journeys are planned through continental Europe first. The pet may then continue to the UK by approved road, ferry or LeShuttle arrangements. Both EU and UK entry requirements must be planned correctly.
If the journey requires an overnight stop, the nanny stays with the pet in a normal pet-friendly hotel. The pet is not placed in a pet hotel or handed to an unknown third party. Food, water, toilet or litter needs and rest time are planned around the itinerary.

Yes, where appropriate and permitted. The nanny monitors water intake, comfort and general wellbeing throughout the journey. Feeding is planned around the travel schedule to reduce the risk of nausea or discomfort during transport.

Can the nanny administer medication?
A flight nanny is not a veterinarian. Any medication must be prescribed or approved by your pet’s veterinarian and discussed with Fly Your Tail before travel. If medication needs to be given during the journey, we will assess whether this can be done safely and appropriately within the agreed service.
If a flight is delayed or cancelled, Fly Your Tail will coordinate the next available option and adjust the itinerary where possible. This may involve rebooking flights, arranging an additional hotel stay or changing ground transport. Any additional third-party costs depend on the circumstances and airline rules.
There is no fixed price because each journey is different. Cost can depend on the nanny’s positioning flight, passenger airfare, pet cabin fee, hotels, trains, ground transport, ferry or cross-border services, number of travel days and any documentation support required. We provide an individual quotation after checking route eligibility.
Where available, yes. Collection from the owner’s home or another agreed location can be included as part of the service. Availability depends on the origin, route and local transport arrangements.
Yes. Flight nanny journeys can include rail, road, ferry and other approved transport where required. This is particularly useful for European routes and for destinations where direct cabin entry is restricted.
Not automatically. The best option depends on the individual pet, route, airline and destination requirements. Flight nanny travel can be ideal for small pets that are eligible for cabin travel, but for some pets or routes manifested cargo may be more appropriate. We assess the full journey before recommending a method.
Not on every route. Availability depends on airline cabin policies, destination-country rules, pet size, breed and the practical itinerary. The service is especially suitable for Europe and selected international routes where accompanied cabin travel is permitted.
