With more and more people are having pets, it’s very normal to fly with your pets nowadays. Just call the airlines and book a seat for your best friend. Its that easy. For small size dogs, they can fly with you in cabin just under the seat in front of you.
We love our pets and would love to have they accompany us on the aircraft, but that could cause a unexpected situation. Stories like On one flight a passenger decided to let her Yorkie poke its head out of its carrier. Moments later the dog escaped from the carrier and somehow ended up in the cockpit. Although the dog was looking for food rather than a chance to commandeer the plane, these regulations are in place to keep things safe and comfortable for everyone.
Some people are allergy to animal furs so you might want to keep your pet in the carrier at all flying times. If you want to pet your furry friend, Placing your hand into the carrier to him or her if necessary. The Sky Steward has seen more and more emotional support animals on board which requires documentation, but hopefully this option would not apply to most passengers. Make sure you read the pet airlines rules before the trip.
Also remember to make a reservation ahead of your travel date for your pet since there are limits to the number of pets that may be accommodated in the cabin. Most airlines allow 2 pets in cabin on the flight.
