@mshilo
Here they have special cargo that is air and pressure controlled for animals. Luggage has neither, so to the best of my knowledge not ever an option. -
And not every airplane is equipped to carry animals as cargo either, but the big ones usually are.

@debradownsouth indeed, you are correct. but it EXTREMELY expensive and flight company request that it will be managed by an external agent that makes it extremely expensive ++

@mshilo
Can your use another airline? It cost me precisely each $200 for our 37 and 70 pound dogs from the US to Israel. -
200 usd for Cargo? Which airline? Btw -I’m originally from Israel.

El al from NYC to Ben Gurion
-
@debradownsouth El-Al?? Thanks, I sure will contact them.
-
@debradownsouth what i have seen and checked again now is that this is the price for cargo hold. Isn't is the luggage area and not special Cargo?
see link:
https://www.elal.com/en/PassengersInfo/Baggage/Pages/Pets.aspxAnyway, i will give them a call, but at least from what i understand 200$ is for hold cargo, which, again, as i understood, is where the Baggages are.

It says : What methods of transport does El Al provide for my pet?
Travel in the passenger cabin.
Checked as baggage in pressurized and temperature controlled area of your aircraft. -
So it may be with luggage, but pressurized and climate control. It did worry me that it could drop ti 41C, but that's rare.
EDIT: " Passengers flying on our Boeing 787 aircraft, please note: The temperature in the cargo hold can drop to 5 degrees Centigrade. "
I meant 41 F, which is 5C. But I didn't fly on 787 so moot point anyway.
