Traveling to Europe as a Fursuiter
Flights
Direct Routes: Major hubs like Frankfurt (FRA), London Heathrow (LHR), and Amsterdam (AMS) have good connections.
Budget Airlines: Ryanair and EasyJet are cheap but charge heavily for oversized luggage. Plan accordingly.
Customs
EU Rules: Fursuits are considered "personal clothing" and shouldn't incur duty. Carry photos showing you wearing it.
UK Post-Brexit: If traveling to the UK from the EU, be prepared for slightly longer customs checks.
Tips
Eurail Passes: If visiting multiple countries, trains are often easier than flights for transporting suits.
Power Adapters: Europe uses Type C/F plugs (except UK which uses Type G). Bring adapters for your fans and chargers.
Cash: Many European vendors still prefer cash or local payment apps (not Venmo/CashApp).
