How to book in-cabin pet travel?
You’re welcome to bring your cat or small dog in the cabin with you provided it is small enough to stand, turn around and lie down in its carrier under the seat in front of you.
Just make sure to let us know in advance, as space is sometimes limited. See the ‘What else do I need to know’ section (at right) for details.
And a reminder that your pet cannot travel with you in the cabin if you:
- Are an unaccompanied minor
- Are seated in an exit or bulkhead row
- Require the use of a medical device that needs to be stowed underneath the seat
- Are travelling in our Premium Economy cabin, as the layout of Premium Economy seats does not allow for the safe stowage of a pet carrier.
- Are travelling in the Business Class cabin of our Boeing 737 MAX 8 (7M8) aircraft
