IN CABIN
You, or the person traveling with your pet, will be on the same flight as your pet. Your pet will likely need to be confined to a pet carrier which must fit completely under the seat in front of you. Some airlines permit pets in passenger cabins only if they are small enough to be kept within the designated space. The size limitation does vary by aircraft and airline. Certain carrier types, size and weight restrictions may apply.

When taking your pet with you in the cabin, keep in mind that most airports will require that the pet be removed from the carrier at the security screening checkpoint so that the carrier may be sent through the x-ray machine. Check to make sure you have a leash or harness with you, but remember that at no point during the flight will your pet be allowed to be taken outside of the carrier. If your pet will not be traveling in the cabin with you, restrain from traveling during very cold or hot times of the year and make sure that flights are early morning or late at night during the summer season and midday during the winter.

CHECKED BAGGAGE

You must be on the same flight as your pet, and the crate and pet combined must weigh no more than one hundred pounds. Other specific instructions may apply, so be sure to contact the specific airline carrier.
