Hello to everyone,
You know we will come to the Netherlands in 4-5 weeks. There is currently no rabbit friendly airline from Turkey to Europe. Also no flights with rabbit friendly airlines from nearby cities in Bulgaria or Greece. There is Finnair, the rabbit-friendly airline that normally comes to Turkey, but it only happens during the summer season. At the moment, it seems that the only option for us is to go to the Netherlands by car. Now we are considering 2 ways but I couldn't decide which one is suitable for Cookie.
1st way: Driving just 5 hours every day, and spending the remaining 19 hours at the hotel, 1 country per day. 5 hours of driving + 19 hours of hotel rest every day
2st way: 3 times 10 hour drive along the way, resting at the hotel for 1-2 days after 10 hours.
Our arrival time in the Netherlands is the same for both. It will be a 5-6 day trip.
You know that I normally go on long trips with Cookie. But after 8-10 hours Cookie rests for weeks. I think the continuous 10-hour car journey here will be very stressful for Cookie. 5 hours of driving every day seems more reasonable to Cookie. Cookie is used to constant 3-4 hour trips. He also likes the change of venues, he likes to see new houses and hotels. He likes the change of place as long as he has the things he knows and adapts very easily, so I don't think he will experience hotel/apartment stress. I find the first option appropriate, I'm curious about your opinion.
I will also share the rabbit friendly airlines that allow keeping rabbits with you in the cabin. I will depart from Istanbul. Can you see if there are flights from one of these airline companies from cities close to Istanbul? Maybe you can find a different suggestion and way about plane that we don't know. Thessaloniki is 10 hours so we don't prefer it but Bulgaria Sofia 4-5 hours. Travel can be any day in the last week of November or the first week of December.
Rabbit friendly airlines:
Aegean Air
Finnair
Aeroflot Airline
Air Europa
Alaska Air
Frontier
WestJet
