Pet Policy
Rules and restrictions
Be sure to review this information before your trip and plan accordingly. And remember that all airlines have different restrictions, so read each airline’s rules before you book a new trip.
- Pets allowed in the main cabin: dogs and cats. Generally, in-cabin crates should be soft-sided and fit under the plane seat in front of you. The weight allowance for carriage is seven kilos per animal, including the carrier.
- Pets allowed in baggage hold: dogs and cats only on narrow-body aircrafts. For cargo crates, the ASPCA says that crates should be large enough for your pet to sit, stand, and turn around in.
- Brachycephalic dogs and cats are not accepted for travel. Brachycephalic breeds are those with a shortened head and nose and flat face such as pugs, shih tzus, and Chihuahuas. They typically have trouble breathing, which flying can exacerbate.
- Puppies or kittens must be at least 8 weeks old.
- Each passenger may carry only one dog or cat.
