Difficult situation. I think this topic has come up before re flights and it depends on the airline whether or not you can have a hamster in the cabin but I think that is highly unlikely. It is the only realistic way as the hold would be too stressful. Even then it’s about a 6 hour flight with journey time either end. It is a difficult age and a bit of a dilemma. I think rehoming is the best option but that would be hard for you. However it can also be a positive experience if it’s the right person and you can have a kind of transition - ie the new person come round and get familiar with the hamster a few times first.

With the right person and the right home this is probably the best option. Very hard when she’s about 15 months old but better than 18 months old.
