Traveling with a Dog or Cat to Mallorca: Between Cabin, Cargo Hold and Ferry Deck

Answer

Is it better to fly or take the ferry to Mallorca with a dog or cat?

There is no single best option. Flying is faster, but it can be more stressful for animals because of noise, waiting times, and possible travel in the cargo hold. A ferry can feel calmer if your pet stays with you, but there are still limits, heat concerns in summer, and rules about where animals may stay on board.
