Airlines That Will Allow Dogs and Cats in the Cabin
Traveling with pets can be tricky, but several airlines make it easier by allowing small dogs and cats in the cabin. If you’re planning a trip and don’t want to leave your furry friend behind, here are some airlines that offer pet-friendly policies:
- American Airlines: Allows cats and dogs under 15 pounds to travel in the cabin for a fee. Pets must be in an approved carrier that fits under the seat.
- Delta Airlines: Pets are welcome in the cabin for domestic and international flights. The maximum weight for pets is typically 15-20 pounds, and they must remain in a carrier under the seat in front of you.
- Southwest Airlines: Offers a pet-friendly policy, allowing cats and dogs in the cabin. The pet must be kept in a carrier that fits under the seat, with a fee per pet.
- JetBlue: This airline is known for being pet-friendly, allowing small dogs and cats to fly in the cabin. Their “JetPaws” program offers additional benefits like pet travel tips.
- Alaska Airlines: Cats and dogs under 15 pounds are allowed in the cabin, and there’s a fee per pet. They also offer a loyalty program for pet travel.
Before booking, check each airline’s specific pet policy, as rules and fees can vary depending on the flight and destination. It’s always a good idea to make arrangements well in advance, as there are usually limited spaces for pets on each flight.
