If you are going to bring your kitty friend along, you should always put her in a cat carrier. Make sure that she is comfortable. Put down a towel and perhaps her favorite toy. It is important that she isn't stressed out, because stress can lead to sickness. Make sure that you have enough of your cat's regular food on hand while traveling. A change of food can add to your cat's stress.
Planes are not good places to have your cat. People cat put their pets in the storage aria of the plane, but this is uncomfortable and scary for a cat. Most likely it is best to drive to your destination if you're bringing your cat then to fly on a plane.
Of course, you can also leave your cat at home. This is much less stressful for your cat. You can leave your cat at home unsupervised for one to two whole days. If you chose to do this, then leave lots of food and water. Also, cat-proof your house right before you leave, just to be sure that you fuzzy friend won't get into any trouble.
If you will be gone any longer then two days, then hire a trustworthy catsitter to watch your cat while you're away or board your cat. The catsitter that you pick out should be a family member, good friend, or a catsitter who has a good reputation with cats. You want you kitty to be in good hands. You should meet and talk with the catsitter beforehand, telling him or her about your cat's needs and what is and isn't normal.
If you are going to board your cat, then find a good place for your cat to be. One place that is very safe for your cat is your nearby vet clinic. Not all vet clinics board animals, but that's a good place to look at.
Another place where you can board your cat is a kennel. Talk to your veterinarian about what kennels the may recommended. Your veterinarian might know some patents that have complained about a certain kennel or might have treated cats with diseases that they got from a kennel. Make sure that the kennel you chose keeps your cat up to date on it's shots. Tell the owner of the kennel you chose your cat's regular food and any illnesses that your cat might have. If your cat does have a contagious diseases, then cure the sickness before you take them to the kennel. Other cats might get ill from your cat's sickness.

So, those are some of the ways you can travel with or without your cat. As someone who volunteered at a vet clinic that boarded cats, I recommend leaving your cat at home with a catsitter or at a vet clinic. Try to find the solution best for you and your cat. I hope that I helped!
