Airline Pet Policy Summary

  • Cats or small dogs are allowed in the cabin provided they fit comfortably in a carrier under the seat. Only one pet per passenger is permitted.
  • Advance notification is required as space can be limited.

  • The pet carrier counts as one standard carry-on item. Pets must remain in their closed carrier under the seat at all times.
  • Pets may be refused travel if the carrier is too small. It should allow them to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
