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.
- International policy: Please see specific restrictions here.
- Pets allowed in main cabin: dogs, cats, and birds. Generally, in-cabin crates should be soft-sided and fit under the plane seat in front of you.
- Pets that are allowed in baggage hold: dogs, cats, and birds. For cargo crates, the ASPCA says that crates should be large enough for your pet to sit, stand, and turn around in.
- Pets that are not allowed for travel: rabbits, hamsters, snakes, and fierce dogs.
- Brachycephalic breeds are not allowed in baggage hold but can be carried onto the flight. (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.)
- Pets must be at least eight weeks in order to travel.
