A Saudi prince bought fares for not one, but 90 of his falcons to fly them across the world with him. The birds have taken up temporary residence sitting side by side with other passengers as they cruise at 30,000ft. 

 According to the International Association for Falconry and Conservation of Birds of Prey, around half of the world’s falconers are located in the Middle East, and many travel across the globe to hunt and take part in competitions.Middle Eastern airlines have special rules for transporting falcons, which have their own passports to crack down on smuggling.
According to Qatar Airways’ website, passengers are permitted to carry one falcon on board the Economy Class passenger cabin of an aircraft, and a maximum of six falcons are permitted within the Economy Class cabin of an aircraft.Falconry is a popular sport among wealthy Saudis, who often see it as part of their Bedouin, or desert nomad, history.Falconry fans head to deserts to watch the magnificent raptors hunt for prey, with some chases lasting for days
