I need any advice regarding travelling with a cat through PIA. I've called them several times and spoke to them in detail. They say one thing and it contradicts with the official procedure that I found in one of the PDF documents on the PIA website. So much so that the guy asked me to disregard it and do as he says.

I don't want some other randon guy at the airport to create any problem/confusion based on whatever guideline he chooses to follow over what some other person told me over the phone. I can't afford to get into any argument over this at that time.

For now, he just told me send some documents to the airport in Lahore and have the customs clear it. That has been done. But I wasn't asked to prepare any documents that I may need at the airport in Canada, in contradiction to the 'official guideline on the PIA website'. I sent him pictures of the pet carrier and he said it seems okay and there shouldn't be any problem. Thats about it.

Please share your experiences and encounters if any.

I'd suggest you try contact some other guy. I believe travelling with pets does require you to show proper documentation at both places. A second opinion never hurts eh?

he can just lie and say its an artifact...or a mummy...or hes a fur merchant..or just a cat-fur scarf..so many possibilities..
Too much hassle.

My butt-stuffing idea is the best one in this thread so far.

just follow the guidelines and disregard the guy. If there's a problem, at least you'll have more to say that "this guy told me so i did it". Contact a travel agent, contact people on a travel forum, google international guidelines, google airport guidelines.

If you don't want so much hassle, follow Chandoo's footsteps, if they detect a cat-like behavior like meow from your butt...just say it's catofartomonia.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    Hellblade 2 has a lower peak player count than Redfall 😬
    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.
    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    first one is 84 Opencritic. Saga dropped to 82.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
