What this route typically costs
Critical points
Lebanon requires rabies vaccination at least 30 days before entry. This is stricter than many other destinations. If your pet's vaccination is current but less than 30 days old on your travel date, you will need to postpone travel or revaccinate and wait the full 30 days.
Check FCO and Mattilsynet travel advisories for Lebanon before booking. The political and logistical situation at Beirut airport can affect cargo operations at short notice.
Turkish Airlines temperature embargoes apply on connecting routes June to September. Confirm acceptance if travelling in summer.
Verify current requirements directly with the Ministry of Agriculture Lebanon before booking. Regulations can change with short notice.
Approved carriers for this route
Not all airlines accept live animals. We book only with carriers that handle live animal cargo correctly.

Practical tips for this move
Work backwards from your travel date and add a buffer. Fixed waiting periods mean a single slipped appointment can push the whole move back by weeks.
Check the airline’s crate size and labelling rules early. An undersized or wrongly labelled crate is a frequent reason pets are refused at check-in.
Ask about temperature embargoes for your travel window. Summer and winter cargo restrictions can rule out certain routes and dates entirely.
Microchip before you vaccinate. The microchip must be in place before the rabies shot for the vaccination to count, and getting this order wrong is the most common and costly mistake.
