In-Cabin Pet Flights – Can I take my Dog on the Plane?

“I’m really looking forward to my flight” is not a quote you’ll hear often, whether for business or pleasure, flying is often a necessary evil for us humans and we get to enjoy the relative luxuries of a seat and if you’re lucky (or pay for reserved seating) a window to peer out of. Imagine how much your pet must feel when they sense a trip to the airport is on the cards?

Most pets have to travel in cargo, in a crate. If you have a dog like this writer, who couldn’t get any closer to you any time of day (a 30kg Viszla sitting on your lap, whist affectionate, is not always comfortable), the thought of putting them in a crate, in cargo is not one to relish. However, there is some good news as some airlines allow you to travel with your pet in the cabin!

Can Pets Travel In-Cabin?
