The Ultimate List of Airlines That Welcome Dogs on Board
Traveling with your furry friend can be a delightful experience, and many airlines are now accommodating pet owners by allowing dogs on board. If you’re planning to take your dog along for your next adventure, it’s essential to know which airlines have pet-friendly policies. Here’s the ultimate list of airlines that welcome dogs on board, along with some tips for a smooth journey.
American Airlines
American Airlines allows small dogs and cats in the cabin if they are transported in an approved pet carrier. The maximum weight limit for the pet plus the carrier is 20 pounds. It’s important to make a reservation ahead of time as there are limited spots available for pets in the cabin.
Delta Airlines
Delta Airlines is another great option for flying with your furry companions. They accept dogs, cats, and household birds in the cabin as long as they fit under the seat in front of you. Just like American, reservations must be made early since there are restrictions on how many pets can fly per flight.
Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines welcomes small vaccinated dogs and cats in carriers that fit under the seat during flights. This airline is known for its friendly service and does not charge an extra fee for traveling with pets; however, only two pets per flight are allowed.
JetBlue Airways
JetBlue’s JetPaws program makes traveling with pets easier than ever. They allow small dogs and cats in-cabin and offer special perks such as 300 points towards travel rewards when you fly with your pet. Make sure to book your spot early since space may be limited.
United Airlines
United Airlines permits pets to travel both in-cabin and as checked baggage or cargo depending on their size and breed classification (as part of their PetSafe program). It’s crucial to check their specific guidelines regarding approved carriers and health documentation before booking.
Traveling by air with your dog can be a pleasant experience if you prepare accordingly. Always check each airline’s specific policies regarding breed restrictions, fees, kennel requirements, health certificates, and other important details before booking your flight—this way you can ensure a comfortable journey for both you and your companion.
