Russian Blue Air Travel Guide

Russian Blues are gentle, reserved cats that travel well by temperament. They bond closely with their owners and while they can be shy with strangers, they generally handle change better than more sensitive or anxious breeds.

At 3.5-5.5 kg, they qualify for in-cabin travel on most airlines that accept cabin pets. No country bans Russian Blues. No airline restricts them. Standard cat import documentation applies.

Their double coat (which sheds seasonally) is not thick enough to cause temperature concerns in cargo. They are not brachycephalic. In practical terms, Russian Blues are one of the more straightforward breeds to travel internationally.
