While there are no weight or breed limitations for pets, they must travel in either a hard-sided or soft-sided carrier. This carrier must fit under the seat in front of you or you cannot fly with your pet. The only animals allowed on planes without a pet carrier are service animals.

While pets have no weight or breed restrictions, they must adhere to specific carrier dimensions.

• Hard-sided carriers must have a height of 9 inches, a length of 17.5 inches, and a width of 12 inches.

• Soft-sided carriers should have a height of 11 inches, length of 18 inches, and width of 11 inches.
