General Guidelines for Pet Travel:
The USDA requires that your pet must be at least eight weeks old and fully weaned before traveling.
Airlines generally only allow a small number of pets in Cabin that are filled on a first come first serve basis.
Making a reservation for your pet is not mandatory for all airlines but highly recommended.
Pet must be accompanied by an Adult 18 years or older.
A proper Carrier to hold your pet is required.
The Pet Carrier typically counts as one Carry on or personal item and must fit under the seat.
Typically there is only one Pet allowed per customer.
Breed restrictions may apply to protect the animal's health.
If your itinerary includes multiple airlines separate arrangements need to be made for each carrier.
Special provisions apply to service animals accompanying a person dependent on its support.
We are trying to keep the information accurate and up to date but cannot take responsibility for any errors or omissions.
Please use the information as a general overview and confirm details with the Airline directly.
